In the ROC offer to build instead of trading pavilions Orthodox churches. FBK alleges that metro will build stalls city officials
The mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin stated that the demolished on the night of Tuesday trading pavilions near the metro stations were “built mostly in the 90-ies, with the obvious connivance or the assistance of state officials.” The mayor added that “the places where these objects” will be “landscaped”. However, exactly how, Sobyanin said.
The ROC proposed to build Orthodox churches on the site of the demolished stalls. As said Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov, Chairman of the Patriarchal Commission on family matters, protection of motherhood and childhood, overcrowded Metropolitan churches, and to build new lack of availability of land. In the ROC at the request of Radio Freedom to comment on the statement Smirnova said that this “anybody” to do. The authorities of Moscow has also not responded to the proposal of Archpriest.
According to the Fund of struggle against corruption, on the site of the demolished stalls will build new trade pavilions, which will be overseen by the Department of transport of Moscow. This is with reference to an anonymous letter on “Facebook” said the lawyer of FBK Love Sable. “The theme from the demolition of the retail pavilions at metro curates” Yuri Degtyarev, the Deputy chief of the Moscow underground, responsible for “passenger services”, which, including, is trading at metro, stated in the letter.
“First blow, then announce a competition for the architectural concept will win in it company “Mosgortransniiproekt”. And then under the title of reconstruction and improvement of the adjacent territory will build a new trade,” the source added Sobol. He noted that “to seize the land from metro and build trade” officials had planned 2 years ago, “but because of the crisis, money for the redemption [of retail space from the owners – approx. Radio Liberty] at the expense of no budget, so I decided to go through a complete mess”.
Only in Moscow on the night of Tuesday were demolished around 100 trade stands at the metro stations. Demolition city authorities explained that they are “self-building” threatening the security of residents.
Politician Alexei Navalny said that the term “squatter” does not apply to demolished trade pavilions. According to him, illegally to build a stall in the capital, to connect it to electricity and sanitation, to obtain permission to trade, a license to sell alcoholic beverages, register to cash register, to sign with the city Contracting organization contract for garbage collection is impossible without the participation of officials. “It was impossible to build it all without the papers, permits and bribes,” – said the oppositionist in the blog. In this connection he has demanded to bring to justice “the former and current officials who authorized or “no notice” building” demolished trade pavilions.
