MP Anna Kanopatskaya is attempting to expand communication channels between society and authorities

MP Anna Kanopatskaya has proposed that people send their questions to the government through her. Previously, the authorities thwarted the opposition’s attempt to introduce amendments to the Electoral Code through their representative in the parliament and failed to share the results of work of the interdepartmental working group led by the Central Election Commission on this issue. In addition to political claims, the opposition is attempting to use its MP to put pressure on the authorities regarding controversial issues of concern for some population groups, such as urban development and construction in the capital city. So far, there were no tangible results from such pressure, however, it has allowed to create an additional communication channel between society and the authorities and prompt officials to become more open to demands of the population discontent with the state policy.
