Apple Faces Potential Exclusion from Russian Parliamentary Elections
Russia's Supreme Court in Moscow on Monday, August 10, decides on a proposal to exclude the opposition party Yabloko from September elections to the State Duma. Hundreds of people who support the party came to the courthouse, as Yabloko opposes the war in Ukraine and calls for a ceasefire. teraz.sk ↗
The exclusion of the party is being sought by the pro-Kremlin right-wing party A Just Russia. Its chairman and State Duma deputy Alexey Zhuravlyov claims that Yabloko committed multiple violations of electoral rules in its campaign. According to available information, the lawsuit also concerns allegedly excessively high campaign expenditures. However, the Moscow electoral commission unexpectedly admitted Yabloko to the elections in the first place. idnes.cz ↗
The development follows an appeal by Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of deceased opposition politician Alexei Navalny. Navalnaya called on Russian voters to support Yabloko in the September elections as a safe way to express disagreement with the regime and the war. Shortly before, the Russian General Prosecutor's Office added the Foundation for Human Rights, which Navalnaya has headed since summer 2024, to the list of undesirable organizations. svet.sme.sk ↗
Yabloko is being presented in this campaign as the only significant anti-war option for opposition voters. Further developments will depend on the Supreme Court's decision and whether the authorities allow the party to remain on the ballot before the September vote. hnonline.sk ↗
