- Опубликовано: 22 дек 2023
- A former TV journalist who announced she would challenge President Vladimir Putin in Russia's spring election has been barred from standing.
Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.
But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 "mistakes" on her form.
Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.

Russian election ballot has 3 choices:
1. Putin.
2. Putin.
3. Prison.
also prison if you picked the “wrong” Putin.
Right to Jail right away
To move your registration as candidate, you need to collect 300k signatures of people who support you. In Russia, around 100 people registers as candidates and around 10 collect signatures via their political parties. 10 people not enough??? Meanwhile n%zi Biden is bannind Trump from elections and kicked away RFK via DNC.
Russia care about their citizens more than any country, thank you Putin ❤
so the samrewith biden
@thedarkdodger, obviously you believe Putin and Trump's propaganda. Trump admires Putin for being such a strong leader. However, a strong leader doesn't need to ban opponents from running in an election, doesn't need to lock up opponents or have them mysteriously fall off balconies.
This is what happens when someone stays in office for 25 years
@@lawrence1318 You may have a mild case of brain rot, trump hasn’t been in office for 3 years. And tried to subvert a democratic election in 2020. Which rhymes with putin.
That’s the difference between trump in US and putin in russia. US just might hold their leader accountable. Might.
@@lawrence1318 More like Trump took himself off with insurrection. Putin on the other hand usually murders or jails his opposition then steals from the Russian tax payers.

A open window is ahead of her, putin don't dare compete with a girl.
It's a message to get out of Russia while she still can. Opposition leader Alexei Navalny disappeared on the day Putin announced his decision to be elected again. That is some trick when you are already in prison! If Duntsova stays, she has no future.

'Hundreds of mistakes on the application'
Mistake 1: You decided to run against Presi-tator for life Putin
Mistake 2: You still believe Russia is a democracy where the people have a say
Mistake 3: You think the Russian parliament is capable of making its own decisions
Mistake 4: You don't 100% support Russia's war of aggression
Mistake 5: You garnered international attention.
Mistake 6: You managed to get around the old 'power outage' ploy when you submitted your application.
Mistake 7: The FSB couldn't find anything to immediately arrest you when you said you were going to run.
Mistake 8: You didn't immediately go into exile outside the country after saying you'd run.
Mistake 9: You have an opinion that is different from what Putin has demanded.
Mistake 10: You previously worked in the media space, just like Zelenskyy.
...
Mistake 100: You actually still think that the results of the 'election' haven't already been decided in Putin's favor.

did you come up with that yourself, at school on tiktok?
so how do you explain that the other 29 candidates succeeded? You low-IQ liberals always blame someone else for your failures, don't you?
Russia and China are more of a democracy then US. In Russia and China people rule directly. While in US people do not rule their country, they only swap one bureaucrat with another. Bureaucrats form "Deep State" which lobbying for big corporations. Corporations rule instead of people. To move your registration as candidate, you need to collect 300k signatures of people who support you. In Russia, there is 3 major parties and 5 small parties. Duncova did not collect signatures. Enough said. Who the hell would vote for her, if she cannot even get enough people?

He is the incumbent, he has the constitutional right to run for reelection, as most POTUS have done - being an "one term president" has become a derogatory term.

Ha ha! Pootin is so tough he is scared of a girl. I don't understand why so many people think he is a Chad. Everything he does he does because fear compels him to.
Putin spent billions on his social image using bot farms, TV, and social media. If only he would have spent a fraction of that on his country.
Yet if the Democrats could ban Trump you'd be cheerleading all day wouldn't you?
He very quickly ran away from Moscow when he though the rebels were advancing.
Just like Biden is scared of Trump. You don’t see this is happening in the ‘democratic’ West. MSM shouts look over there whilst we do the same here and you tards fall for it every time.
So how can it be a fair and unbiased election then?
Your comment seems to be more or less adequate compared to the biased bot comments under this video, so I will answer. It is not so much about being fair and unbiased but more about a marketing campaign for candidates trying to run for presidency currently. Why? It is simple. Putin is supported by a big majority currently and people are not willing to change the leader during the SMO/war (whatever you call it doesn't matter). Logically, all the people applying to be candidates know that they are nobodies and won't get any votes. As for this candidate specifically, her team has been implicated in violating the law of the Russian Federation by spreading misinformation about the Russian Army. We're not talking about politics here, we're talking about current law where you go in prison if you violate it like any country that has any form of judicial system. Now if we talk about politics, we are at war currently. If you take one second to look at the laws that are being applied towards people that are against war, for example in Ukraine, you will see that it is a hundred times stricter. So before jumping into conclusions like "Russia is a repressive State", think twice as most of the people living in Russia do not feel oppressed at all except those that view the government as an enemy and start massive campaigns against it. But then again, if you start a massive campaign against any government, I believe you understand that you're going to have issues of some sort in any case. Thus said, talking about "far and unbiased" elections is somewhat hypocritical as most believe there shouldn't be elections currently because of the times we live in (for example in Ukraine they decided that they won't be any election until the war is finished - isn't that repressive af? Who cares right. It's not Russia, it's not Putin). Bottom line is: you need to understand that your Anglo-Saxon logic doesn't apply in Eurasia. Unfortunately state media like BBC is full of lies and doesn't help to end the current conflict as most pro-western media is pushing towards the continuation of war.
It's not
Liberal states in the US are doing this exact same thing to Trump

Red herring, None of this prevents Farage running for public office.
Also Farage wasn’t debanked as he was offered a NatWest acc, and the BBC who’s a *Public Broadcaster* didn’t report he had run out money, rather that no-longer qualified for a Coutts account.

Then when that doesn't work they simply take him off the ballot. It's the height of depravity.
Stalin never said that. Make sure if you are going to quote someone make sure it's accurate. I find people who compare Stalin and Putin very ignorant.
Hahaha BBC is so great. Let's ignore the fact that she had "yes" or cat drawings in her documents instead of signatures and say it's all evil Putin XD
Hopefully she will be safe..
Didn't Britain ban the national front ?
Anti war candidate? Maybe she can run for presidency in the US or prime minister in the UK. Would be a nice alternative.
She can't run in Ukraine - Zelensky locks up anti war opponents too.
Ok Russian bot
@@dazjackson1972 Such as who? Please give some examples.
Putin started the smo, which turned into a war. Three days !
@@jaker3151 Your favourite comic THE GUARDIAN has all the relevant details - check out the articles written in march 2022 regarding Fuhrer Zelensky banning 11 opposition parties and "consolidating" the media.
Ukraine and Russia are as corrupt as each other - it's laughable to claim Zelensky is fighting for democracy.
Voting form at the polling stations should not take long to make a decision.
It usually goes quickly because the ballots are already filled out. It frees up your time so you can go stand in a bread line.
The US ban anti-war candidate Donald J Trump.
Lo and behold! This has never panned out, and here it is again! Who could have thought! 🤣🤣
She will be missed as well as Nawalny
Please remove that disgusting terrorist flag from your name, thank you
Keep in mind: In the time The United States has had 5 Presidents (Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Trump, & Biden), Putin has been either the President or the Prime Minister of Russia during that same amount of time.
That's what happens in a dictatorship.
He's an ex-KGB secret policeman. So it's not a surprise.
During this time, America started more than five wars. Russia started only one
If we the people of Russia want to re-elect the same person once again, it is our democratic right to do so.
@@alexsilent5603 why do all the opposition end up missing, in jail, barred or dead?
Mean while America so called model democracy banned presidential candidate from contesting. Please report that also?
Better than accidently "falling" out of a 17th story window.
The Colorado supreme court also just banned the US's anti war candidate.
"It's okay when we do it..."
Oh the one that goaded his followers into attempting to overthrow the certification of a fair election?
That is a court 😶
Never fails to amaze me how some of you Americans continue to support the orange guy who wants to be a putin who wants to be a stalin. For all of us in the West, please stop it.
Panic not. The US Supreme court will gut it. BTW: The Colorado court was 4-3. Close as it gets.
They never hesitate.
As long as they can keep the High Chair for themselves.
Stay away from open windows!! Have food checked before consumption! Move from current address! Hide!
sounds like Colorado
Only 100 reasons were found to ban her from running,as few as that.
Basically threatening Putin's hold on power, questioning his disastrous war and triggering vatniks.
Like the democrats are trying to do to Donald trump?? Or is that different?... 😬
yes, she is that illiterate.
*This is unfair..*
..i think the bbc news actress who likes to flip people off should be reporting this
Well done
Surely everyone knew this would happen !
Colorado?
Just a normal russian election then.
Russian citizens opportunity to pretend like they have a choice.
I wonder when he's going to try to poison her and then throw her in jail?
I guess Russia and the USA have more in common than we think
Bot
Yes they do. Both countries have bears too. Not really that different
@dancoy09 I mean it's true. Our establishment is currently trying to ban the anti-establishment frontrunner from being able to run...
@@dancoy09and we found Zlensky's b o t account
@@CousinBowling Better choices than Trump.
Nothing like a fair and just society
На коленях перед черными давно стояли? Честное общество😂😂
spoken like illiterate. If you fail to compose proper application - you aren't fit to rule anything, duh.
She now needs to be extremely careful, staying aware from long flights of steps and windows at higher than ground floor level.... She may also need to refrain from having a coffee with friends anywhere too.......
