Central Election Commission thinks there were no obstacles to agitation in Brest
Ihar Maslouski's picket at the "Locomotive" stadium in Brest
Ihar Maslouski who ran
for the Parliament at Brest-Central election constituency #2, received an
answer to his complaint concerning determination of places for agitation pickets
and meetings by the Brest
authorities.
In this complaint Maslouski argued that the Brest City Executive Committee
deliberately allowed agitation only in unfrequented places. In particular, on
14 September Maslouski and his electioneering agents held a picket at one of
such places, the “Locomotive” stadium.
They didn’t saw a single person at the stadium during the picket which lasted
for one hour.
However, the Central Election Commission answered “that all conditions for
agitation were created on the territory
of Brest-Central election
constituency #2”. Mr. Maslouski considers it as a formal come-off, as far as
the CEC head Lidziya Yarmoshyna didn’t answer concrete questions, such as how
an effective agitation campaign can be held in the places where there are no
people.
