“Those people who expressed obscenities booed ... they have absolutely nothing to do with this, as this meeting was called, a“ people's gathering ”. These are provocateurs most likely. In general, to bring people out at just such a moment is a provocation, this is some kind of adventurism, ”he said.
According to him, so far no one knows how the last action “comes around” later.
“People believe that this epidemic exists ... There is already a rebuttal in social networks of those people who admitted that there is no virus, they already apologized through Instagram for their speeches, for their antics. They were invited by doctors to the clinical emergency hospital, where this hospital for patients with coronavirus was deployed, they visited there, they were dressed in protective gowns, masks. They watched it all, ”he added.
On April 20, a “people's gathering” took place in Vladikavkaz, as the organizers called the demonstration. The protesters called for the abolition of the regime of self-isolation. According to various sources, from 300 to 4 thousand participants gathered on Freedom Square.
In the Kremlin, commenting on the rally, they said that it was illegal, stressing that the accumulation of so many people could have negative consequences from an epidemiological point of view.
Vadim Cheldiev, who called for rallies in Vladikavkaz, was fined 75 thousand rubles for distributing fakes about the coronavirus.
