Moscow, February 7, 2001

Today, near the building of the State Duma in Okhotny Ryad, the radicals carried out a demonstration against the adoption of the law "On political parties". The law which was introduced by the president provides in particular the financing of the parties from the federal budget. This provision aroused especially severe criticism of the radicals.

The demonstration was held under the transparency: "No - to the budget financing of the parties!". About two tens of activists of the Radical Party took part in the demonstration.
