Bredec Group Bredec Group Tell HN: Yekaterina Duntsova barred from Russian presidential election: Yekaterina Duntsova has recently become very popular in Russia as an anti-Putin, anti-war, democratic candidate She recently held a voter meeting to get the signatures legally required as a first step to become a presidential candidate. It was not easy since the police visited all the notary offices and there was only one which continued to work. However, it was successfully done Today she came to Central Election Commission and they said that the (verified) documents she had contained 100 errors, therefore they will not register her as a candidate. Notably, one of the "errors" was one signature which looked like a cat - it was later confirmed as a real one by SOTA, and Russian laws have no restrictions on signatures, one can even use an emoji. The CEC will only give an official conclusion tomorrow, which will prevent Yekaterina from going to court as soon as possible. As usual, more roadblocks from the government are expected, even for the other candidates While Russian opposition forces are not united, the consensus seems to be to go and vote for any candidate that's not Putin, and Duntsova would be a great choice here. You may think something like "this is Putin's own election, no one else can win, it's stupid to even try". But it's not about winning since that's absolutely impossible and everyone knows that (she even openly says that). It's about showing that the are more anti-Putin people in Russia than one would think, about uniting them and showing their true voice. There is finally a legitimate, legal way to protest against the dictatorship and the war, even if the outcome is unclear I wrote this post since Algolia showed no results about these events and I thought it would be great if HN audience knew what's happening, thank you for reading --- Comments URL: https://lnkd.in/dUx9XMxH Points: 1 # Comments: 0 info@bredec.com Inquiry@bredec.com

In recent years, #Russian presidential elections have been marked by Vladimir Putin's enduring dominance, a figure who has wielded power since 2000. His control over state institutions and enduring popularity have consistently ensured his success at the polls. However, allegations of electoral irregularities and restrictions on political opposition have marred the electoral process. During the last presidential election in March 2018, Putin clinched a fourth term with a substantial majority. Yet, the election was not devoid of controversy, with reports of voter coercion and irregularities, alongside obstacles faced by opposition candidates attempting to run. These #elections draw significant attention from international observers and organizations, who scrutinize the #fairness and #transparency of the electoral process. Past concerns have centered on the level of political competition, media freedom, and the ability of opposition figures to campaign freely. The fact the de facto opposition leader not only wasn't on the ballot but died in prison during the campaign rather adds a tinge to the whole process…. About the only thing we can rest assured of is that with a #StPatricksDay poll, clearly President Putin feels he doesn't have to worry about the Irish vote. From our perspective analysing the #bourse #business at www.exchangeinvest.com, we're keeping a close eye on #Russia' elections where the winner is hardly in doubt but the metrics will be studied no matter how free and fair western observers deem the process… #Election2024 #ElectionDay #Vote #ElectionSeason #PoliticalEngagement

Should EU media outlets have a clear editorial line? POLITICO EU Editor Jamil Anderlini said something interesting on this during their election night live show (9:38 below): "At POLITICO we're privileged and fortunate in the fact we are avowedly non-partisan. So as a political news organisation we are not on the left, on the right.... Whereas some of our competitors in the media are to a certain extent blinded by ideological prisms, we don't have that." To preempt the age old debate on objectivity and bias, he does go on to say that it's impossible to remove bias at the individual reporter level, but that the institution that is POLITICO does not take a position. But would a clear editorial stance actually be beneficial to public discourse? When we read news publications back home we usually know the sort of politics we’re getting. Editors write editorials and hire columnists who generally align with the paper’s/owner’s stance. I hear complaints from both sides of the political spectrum in bxl that “[any and every EU media outlet] is biased.” Would we benefit from editorials and more vocal and public-facing editors? It's hard to imagine EU publications that are reliant on diverse commercial revenue ever wanting to risk alienating a sizeable chunk of those customers. But maybe perennial claims of impartiality lead to an erosion of trust in the long-term.

How Putin will be elected in Russian regions Attached is a secret presentation with the election campaign strategy for the presidential “elections” in Udmurtia. The detail of the description, as well as previously known information, leaves no doubt that the same will happen in other regions. Main: 1. Two options for the plan for turnout and votes for Putin: 80/85 and 55/85 . Putin's percentage is unchanged in both options. Moreover, for the second (lower turnout) the share of “forced” votes for Putin (controlled turnout) is 64%! 2. Detailed schedule of attendance control. Key enterprises in the region, software used (including geolocation control), attendance for officials, attendance for workers, “bring a friend” schemes (“1+1”, “1+3”) 3. Work on social networks. State pages, bot networks, creation of fakes. 4. Active attention to community chats, including house chats. “Creating a legend for the presence of officials” is especially wonderful. 5. Creation of a network of pocket TSBs, whose activists will be involved as agitators and observers. 6. Scheme of the republican election headquarters (positions, names). The head of the region is in charge. 38 pages about what “elections” are like in Russia.

Big day for all #Europeans Since my first #EU elections in 2004 - the #EuropeanUnion was the most interesting geopolitical experiment linked to the #BigBang enlargement, #EU as the soft power challenging #US hard power miseries in the war in #Iraq 2003, and the idea that this was the model to follow in #Latam #Africa and even #Asia will try integration based on trade and values. Today after 20 years we are in a completely different context. Reinventing our integration process, equipping the union with policy tools to deal with a new world order and defending our core values will be essential --- and THE resposibility for ALL political groups and leaders. Time to vote and engage. The world needs a strong #Europe more than ever.
The 2024 European election reaches its peak this evening, when preliminary results will show what the EU's politics will look like for the coming five years. Here's our primer to get you prepared for the day's events (it's going to be a long one): https://trib.al/poRvGgg
