Mitrokhin, who twice He served as chairman of the party, and he announced his candidacy for a new election, insisting that there is nothing to limit the democratic presidency. “The analogy with the President here is incorrect, there is so much Merkel is elected,” he -argumentiroval its position. Mitrokhin said that on the eve of elections to the Duma in 2016 should not be experimenting and “taking populist decisions,” proposing to elect a chairman for one year. So choose a leader could lead the party in the elections to the Duma in 2016 and show how it is effective, he added.
«You say that now is not the time for new faces. And when it’s time? When we lose re-election? Then it will be too late “- replied to this founder of the party.
Among a hundred delegates to the Congress consensus on this issue was not. Many admitted that they changed their opinion during the debate throughout the day. Member of the political committee of the party, a member of the regional council of the Moscow “Apple” Victor Sheynis Yavlinsky agreed that the party needs to be updated. “The party should withdraw from the electoral ghetto. Wants new people, “- he explained his position to RBC.

Otherwise, we will not believe “, – said the St. Petersburg« Yabloko ».
The Chairman of the St. Petersburg” Apple “, member of the Political Party Mikhail Amosov also believes that” it is not necessary to be afraid of renewal. ” “Sergei Sergeyevich [Mitrokhin] will do. All the while, he combined the leadership of the Party and the leadership of the Moscow branch. If it was not, perhaps, we would have a better result in the elections to the State Duma, “- he said, recalling that in 2011″ Apple “in St. Petersburg showed the result of 11.5%, while in Moscow – only 8, 5%.
The most fierce critic of restrictions presidency, in addition to Mitrokhin, was Andrei Babushkin. “We will not be happy to learn that changed our local doctor. In the first years in office, he is just learning, “- he argued. No harmful to the cause of sustainable and strong ties but relations with party members and police officers who vintili Mitrokhin in stocks, he has not got, Grandmother insisted. But because of the party members there is nothing wrong, he said. On the contrary, such an artificial withdrawal chairman of the party would be perceived as a defeat not only Mitrokhin, but the whole party. “No prior analysis of the situation was not, we as a blindfolded tightrope walkers” – insisted Grandmother.
Against the amendment also expressed by delegates from Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, the Ulyanovsk region and Udmurtia.
