YABLOKO: Elected State Duma does not represent Russian people - Main contents
A couple of weeks ago Russian citizens went to the polls to elect a new State Duma. ALDE Party President Hans van Baalen MEP commented on the parliamentary elections results regarding them as "yet another Putin show, without a free fair chance for the opposition."
Last week on the night of 22 September the Central Electoral Commission held the final meetings on the results of the elections to the Russian State Duma.
As the report was announced, the leader of ALDE Party member YABLOKO Emilia Slabunova was the first to take the floor to state that YABLOKO Federal Political Committee did not recognise the election results: "The main thing is that for the first time in modern history of Russia the voters turnout turned appeared to be very low and the parliament was elected by the minority of the citizens."
