Officials in Biysk (Altai Territory) refused to approve a rally against the increase in housing and communal services tariffs for two thousand people in the city center and moved it to the outskirts. about this Writes "Taiga.Info".

Documents for approval of the action on January 29 on Petrovsky Boulevard were submitted by the Biysk City Committee of the Communist Party. Officials explained the refusal by the fact that this place is occupied by a children's snow town, which "does not allow the event to be held safely." As a result, the authorities agreed to the action only on the outskirts of the city.

“Apart from the Christmas tree and the hill, there are practically no other structures at the indicated place. Moreover, the city administration itself has repeatedly held festive events in this place with more than two thousand people, and no "snow town" interfered with this. <...> An alternative place for the action, proposed by the authorities, is the Flax Plant area, located nine kilometers from the center of Biysk, ”the press service of the Altai Territory Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation noted.

The first secretary of the city committee, Vladimir Balakhnin, said that the action would still take place, as the townspeople were outraged by the increase in tariffs, but the communists would prepare a lawsuit against the decision of the authorities to postpone the action.
