The Yabloko faction expresses its indignation at the decision
of the State Duma which excluded from the commission on the problem
of imports of nuclear waste the representative from the Union
of Right-Wing Forces (SPS) and Yabloko," Deputy Head of the
Yabloko faction Sergei Ivanenko told journalists during the interval
between the meetings of the lower chamber.
Ivanenko also stressed that these two faction had voted against
the imports of spent nuclear fuel into Russia, whereas today the
Duma "had been transformed into a department of the Presidential
Administration: it does not want to hear anything, know anything
and make decisions." Further Ivanenko expressed his hope
that at the beginning of next year it would be possible to start
collecting signatures for the referendum on the problem of imports
of spent nuclear fuel into Russia.
The leader of the SPS faction of the State Duma Boris Nemtsov
also told journalists that the faction categorically opposed the
law on the imports of spent nuclear fuel, but the "most impertinent
thing happened today", when none of the deputies who openly
speak against the imports of nuclear waste into Russia were included
in the commission. "We think that the Duma demonstrated its
weakness and helplessness," stated Nemtsov.
