From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 11/6/2006 7:01 AM 26.10.2006 13:53 MSK Union of Right Forces Condemns Draft Law on Self-Governance RUSSIA, Moscow. “The United Russia faction has introduced a draft law into the State Duma to give regional authorities the right to annul local self-governance in cities that are capitals of subjects of the federation… They want to maintain the power of the current bureaucrats at any cost,” reads a statement issued by the Union of Right Forces on October 23.
”For that purpose, they are prepared to deprive the citizens of the Russia Federation of one of their last possibilities to choose their own leaders,” the statement by the URF federal political council presidium continues.
URF noted that the true motives of the authors of the draft law are especially obvious considering the recent defeat of the incumbent United Russia mayoral candidate in Samara.
URF declared that the passage of the law would be a gross violation of the civil right to local self-governance, which is guaranteed by the Russian Constitution and the European Charter on Local Self-Governance.
On October 22, the Yabloko Party also condemned the draft law.
