This was announced by the head of state in the framework of the project “20 questions to Vladimir Putin”.
“Scolding the authorities in order to convince the voter that these (the opposition. - RT ) are precisely the people who are needed are not enough. It’s necessary to present a positive program, ”Putin said.
The President noted that criticism alone is not enough to effectively develop the country.
As Putin emphasized, in order to convey his point of view to the electorate “it is absolutely not necessary to organize unauthorized actions”, this can be done using the Internet and the media.
“Get sanction, go and express your point of view,” the Russian leader emphasized.
In December, Putin commented on court decisions on criminal sentences for participants in uncoordinated rallies in Moscow accused of using violence against law enforcement officials.
As he noted, peaceful protests cannot be allowed to turn into riots, all citizens have the right to express their position, but this should be done without violating the law.
