“The competence of the internal affairs bodies does not include the regulation and admission of anyone to the territory of a mass event. That is, all these moments belong to the competence of the organizers, ”he said.
As Titov explained, the entrance for the press was one, from the Garden Ring, the one through which the crew was not allowed to pass.
“The representatives of the press had to come from the Garden Ring in order to submit to the inspection the equipment with which they are going to do their job of covering certain events,” he stressed.
On March 10, the RT film crew was not allowed to the agreed rally through the common entrance, since the video agency and TV operators had video equipment with them.
In this regard, they were redirected to the press area, but at the entrance they were met by the press secretary of the Libertarian Party, Sonya Blade, who refused to miss the journalists.
“I didn’t let Rush Toaday and Life enter the press zone; they dragged the stepladder and now broadcast my accreditation,” commented the libertarians' representative.
Blade later said that she was denied “access to the press area near the stage, and not to the rally”.
Earlier, an international lawyer, honorary lawyer of Russia Valery Vanin called a false explanation of the justification of the Libertarian party for not allowing RT to the rally
