As predicted “Times”, the Communists refused to surrender as scheduled signatures collected in support of a referendum on the return of the monument to Dzerzhinsky on Lubyanka. Autographs of citizens, according to our sources, compiled, but their quality leaves much to be desired. Officially, the decision to postpone the delivery of the signatures explained leftists in particular intention to wait for the verdict of the court in an action in which the demand submitted to a referendum question is not one, but three.
At the end of June, the Moscow City Duma (MHD) and Mosgorizbirkom (IPCC) allowed the communists to hold a referendum on the return on Lubyanka Square monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky. This MHD rejected two other issues that the Left is also intended to bring to the plebiscite – on the reform of health and education. Within 30 days of the Communist Party had to collect 2% of signatures of voters in Moscow (146 thousand.). Rent out autographs citizens needed until 26 July.
On Monday, the Communist Party has reported that gathered more than 150 thousand. Signatures in support of a referendum on the return of the Iron Felix, and promised to present them at a press conference on Tuesday. However, to take them to the IPCC, as predicted by sources “Gazety.Ru”, the left did not.
According to one of our interlocutors familiar with the preparations for the plebiscite, the reason is that the quality of the collected signatures poor. In other words, they did not check the IPCC will be held. This obviously substandard autographs take dangerous: the law provides criminal penalties for counterfeiting. Art. RBM 142 RF “Forgery of signatures” involves up to three years in prison.
And indeed, the source continues, “Gazety.Ru” plebiscite only one question – about the return of the monument to Dzerzhinsky – Communists unprofitable “required by law to appear (at least 50% of the population in which the referendum declared valid. -” Times “) will not. But against the Communists will probably sound accusations that the funds for the referendum had been wasted, and it is 450 million rubles. PR effect, respectively, would be questionable. People will come to vote only on one condition: if the referendum will be submitted as questions about the reform of health and education. ”
Choosing a scenario in which the surrender of autographs at the appointed statutory period postponed, most likely due to the fact that the left are going to await the outcome of litigation, previously told another source “Gazety.Ru” familiar with the situation. We are talking about the claim that the Communists applied the Moscow City Court on July 6. The paper challenged the resolution to hold a referendum on a single issue, instead of three, initially insisted on what the Communist Party.
«The story is still the LP. If the judgment is suddenly turns in our favor, it will be possible to repeat (the collection of signatures. – “Times”) on the same address, “- says the source.
If the court denies the results of litigation Communists the right to hold a plebiscite on all three issues – and this is the most likely option – then, according to our interlocutor, it will be possible to carry out the so-called People’s referendum, that is, legally or non-binding. Communists, it can be beneficial in terms of political positioning: that the authorities banned us to hold a plebiscite, fearing that the citizens will support a good cause, declared by the Communist Party.
At a press conference on Tuesday, the deputy chairman of the CPRF Central Committee, first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee Valery Rashkin officially announced that the communists postpone the surrender of the collected signatures. He explained it this way: “Given that the amount of material costs for the referendum only one issue related to the monument to Dzerzhinsky, irrational believe today, makes a statement that we postpone the surrender of the subscription lists collected in support of a referendum, before the court decision, until the Commission on monumental art, and then to continue to fight for a referendum on a new basis. ”
Meanwhile, earlier assured Rashkin “Gazetu.Ru” that signatures of citizens will certainly be handed over to a designated law terms – on 26 July. “We have more than 90 non-governmental organizations that are collecting signatures at the inside, they do not need to walk the streets. We are signing surrender, they have recorded names, poadresno, we do culling and selects desired. We put them in a press conference publicly – said the chief metropolitan communist. – I’m afraid that does not collect signatures and will support the weak, but now sure that Muscovites want a referendum and they are tired of lawlessness in the housing and health care. They realized that the only chance to fix the power – through a referendum. ”
According to “Gazety.Ru” taking a decision to refuse to provide signatures as scheduled, the Communists also feared a negative attitude on the part of the mayor’s office, which said the source, close to the city authorities, does not want a precedent will of the citizens in a referendum.
«The Moscow government unhappy with the initiative of the Communists and promised to approach carefully checking each signature,” – says the source “Gazety.Ru”.
According Rashkin, he was “not a lunatic and sober politician” and understands that “the mayor’s office for health and education are losing completely the referendum.” Even if the courts refuse to deputy chairman of the CPRF Central Committee promises to “fight on”: “The results will be weighed. Well read tea leaves? »
Co-Chair” Voice “Andrei Buzin agree that the government will not go to a referendum on education and health care, as they affect the” significant financial issues. ” According to Elder, at the Moscow City Court and other courts have sufficient legal grounds to reject the lawsuit left.
Since 2000, he has repeatedly raised the issue of the return of the monument to Iron Felix to its historic place in front of the Federal Security Service on Lubyanka Square in Moscow. A monument to the founder of the Cheka, deposed in 1991, democracy activists, kept in the park “Muzeon.”
In February 2014 the Moscow City Duma Commission on monumental art unanimously rejected the return of the monument to the Lubyanka, but the Communists appealed the decision in court. As a result, in May, the Moscow City Court found the decision of the election commission illegal, and ordered the Commission to re-examine the question of the referendum. In late June, the Moscow City Duma rejected once all three questions of the referendum – in relation to the educational and health reforms and the scandalous point of the return of the monument to the founder of the Cheka. Communist faction in response slammed the door, but without the participation of the Communists deputies MHD suddenly back on the agenda of the third question, concerning the Dzerzhinsky.
communists then called the decision a ploy mayor’s office, complaining that the issue of returning the monument to Lubyanka is much less important than the real issues of concern to Muscovites reform of health and education, the reduction of schools and hospitals. Sources “Gazety.Ru”, in turn, explained the resolution to hold a plebiscite on the return of the monument to Dzerzhinsky authorities confidence that in the past month required by law, and above all, high-quality design 146 thousand. Signatures the left simply gather.
