Убедительная победа партии Пашиняна «Мой шаг» на выборах в мэрию Еревана

Прошедшие выборы в городской совет столицы Армении Ереван завершились с убедительной победой политической силы премьер-министра Армении Никола Пашиняна. За его партию «Мой шаг» проголосовали 81,06% избирателей.

На втором месте оказалась партия «Процветающая Армения» с 6,95%. На третьем месте альянс «Луйс» с 4,95% - что недостаточно для того, чтобы преодолеть порог, но из-за положения в законе о выборах, что по крайней мере три партий должны быть представлены в городском совете, она будет допущена в совет. Явка на выборах составила чуть более 43%. Девять других партий, которые также принимали участие в выборах, набрали лишь небольшое количество голосов.

Согласно действующим правилам, человек, возглавляющий список кандидатов от партии «Мой шаг» - Айк Марутян - будет избран мэром города. Он займет пост мэра 10 октября.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, это была великолепная победа для Никола Пашиняна и его политической команды, и это значительно усиливает руку премьер-министра, поскольку он проводит амбициозные и радикальные внутриполитические реформы. В то время как настоящий предстоит в ходе парламентских выборов, которые, вероятно, будут проведены в начале 2019 года, ошеломляющая победа в Ереване более чем символична. Ереван является не только столицей Армении, но и ее политическим, экономическим и социальным центром. Недовольство в Ереване всегда было ахиллесовой пятой правительства Армении последнее десятилетие, и она никогда не была преодолена. Пашинян показал, что его популярность сильна. В то время как явка в 43,65% была несколько низкой, эти выборы, похоже, прошли без «каруселей» и поэтому число избирателей было подлинным, а не искусственно завышенным. Вполне вероятно, что Пашинян будет быстро двигаться дальше, чтобы извлечь выгоду из своей победе на выборах, и возможно, это подтолкнет его к еще большим переменам, и также к досрочным парламентским выборам. Только убедительная победа на этих выборах завершат политический процесс, начатый в Армении в апреле, когда Пашинян начал свой всенародный марш в сопровождении нескольких последователей.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
