“We demand that Russia finally held presidential elections, which the society can be considered legitimate. For this purpose it is necessary to change the order of formation of election commissions, including the Central election Commission, which now actually forms the current President, that is one of the candidates, to create a special independent Tribunal to consider all disputes concerning the election preparations and campaign, to solve the issue of public financing of election campaigns of candidates in presidents”, – the document says.
It also Yavlinsky calls for “the immediate establishment of a television format, which will be possible an open, honest, lengthy and thoughtful debate, and are required to participate in these debates and all presidential candidates”.
