Sevastopol remains without rights, as it has been for the last 20 years, - Gennady Basov
Sevastopol, August 21 (Navigator, Alexander Kononov) - Residents of Sevastopol remain in the same disenfranchised position as in Ukraine - the adopted City Charter still does not allow Sevastopol residents to elect a mayor or governor.
Gennady Basov, candidate for the Legislative Assembly in district No. 5 from the party “Union of Citizens” (formerly “Russian Bloc”), stated this on air at SGTRK.

“The first thing you need to start from is the charter of Sevastopol, which states that the head of the city is elected by appointment, and not by direct voting. This shouldn't happen. We have been fighting for 20 years so that Sevastopol elects its head of the city - the governor, or no matter what he will be called there,” the politician insists.
“We have queues, unemployment, we have a lot of problems, some criminal scams. It’s not Putin or Medvedev who are to blame for this, it’s the people who are here who work on the ground who are to blame. And in order to clean up our city, we need to take tough, drastic measures. We are going to the legislative assembly to pass tough laws that would make the government transparent and effective,” Basov said.
Sevastopol remains in a state of disenfranchisement , as it has been for the past 20 years, says Gennady Basov.
