president first of all I want to say
0:03
that it was really a pleasure to listen
0:06
what a nice comfortable political life I
0:11
have in Moscow are with my colleagues
0:13
short term sentences non-stop special
0:16
finds it's this is really very nice
0:19
thank you very much and of course
0:21
compared to mr. Nelson Mandela my life
0:25
by my political life and most go much
0:27
easier I want to address this question
0:32
about statistics of the meeting and I
0:36
want to say that this is a typical
0:38
example of manipulation of facts and
0:41
trying to trick this court the statement
0:44
that we have in 95 percent we have
0:47
authorization for our rallies and I'm
0:50
very glad that our respectful opponent
0:54
mentioned the national rally we have on
0:57
this Sunday yes it's true we have
1:01
authorization for this rally which we
1:03
have in more than 100 cities all over
1:07
the Russia but the question is do we
1:09
have authorization in Moscow in st.
1:11
Petersburg in the major cities the
1:14
answer is no so technically yes but they
1:19
give out this permission in the way
1:21
offer another political humiliation we
1:26
don't allow to have our rallies in the
1:28
centers of the city they give us
1:30
permission for the five districts or
1:33
literally in the four parks for example
1:36
this Sunday they have a proposition for
1:38
us to have a rally literally in the
1:40
woods in the parks a cornica and of
1:44
course definitely I wrote in my blog
1:47
that we will never agree to such a
1:49
proposition that we have our right to
1:51
have our rallies in the same places when
1:55
the pro-government movement have their
1:57
rallies and obviously in Russia now we
2:02
have a major political events election
2:05
and a lot of people are very
2:07
disappointed that we have a
2:08
non-competitive election it's at least
2:12
half of population and we
2:13
definitely have a right to to go in the
2:17
Centers of our city
2:18
I have such rallies the same for
2:21
situation with this rallies on election
2:26
which was mentioned by the government
2:28
agent yes they have a reason to say we
2:33
gave you a lot of permission but you
2:35
mister now only like a spoiled baby
2:38
don't want to use these permissions and
2:42
you are as government engine center want
2:45
to be arrested and you are literally
2:48
harassed in Russian government and
2:50
asking to be arrested but the key issues
2:54
time and location like we have a we have
2:59
authorization to have my meeting with a
3:03
during election in the 7:00 in the
3:06
morning on Monday one kind of abandoned
3:11
Stadium this is vast majority of what
3:16
they call in permission for their for
3:19
the rallies of course we cannot agree
3:21
with that of course in this situation I
3:24
understand that the that there is a risk
3:27
of being arrested but I cannot we cannot
3:31
take such a condition of you know
3:34
political game they have everything and
3:37
we should have our meetings in the 7:00
3:39
in the morning on Monday so I want to
3:44
that's why I asked this court to
3:47
consider the whole political context
3:50
around these cases it's not just about
3:53
five cases in the system of ignoring our
3:57
right to freedom or assembly how many
4:00
times during last five years me and my
4:04
colleagues have a permission to have a
4:07
meeting in the center of Moscow within
4:10
last five years 0 times how many times
4:13
we have such a permission in st.
4:15
Petersburg zero times how many times are
4:18
the people who want to have a rally
4:20
against corruption have the permission
4:23
to organize meeting in the center of
4:25
media majors
4:27
zero times the question is timing
4:30
the question is location and their
4:33
permission is actually act of political
4:36
humiliation of a position thank you very
4:39
much
