Protesting in Yakutsk is discouraged by the government's recommendation

In a recent report by KP - Yakutia, it has been speculated that the trade unions in Yakutia might hold thematic events instead of the traditional May Day procession this year. This potential change comes after the cancellation of last year's demonstration of labor collectives in Yakutsk, which was followed by other thematic events dedicated to May Day.

The city of Yakutsk itself may not have a May Day demonstration this year, according to the same report. However, it is important to note that this decision, if made, will only be advisory for other municipalities. The government commission on offenses has recommended against holding the May Day parade in Yakutsk this year.

The decision about the May Day demonstration in Yakutsk will be made on April 10 by the Federation Council of Trade Unions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The chairman of this council, who will make the final decision, is not publicly specified.

Regarding the reasons for the potential cancellation, no information has been provided as of now. Similarly, there is no information available about the potential impact of this cancellation on other thematic events dedicated to May Day or on other municipalities.

It is also unclear what the response of the trade unions, the public, or other municipalities might be to such a cancellation. The potential alternatives to the May Day demonstration, if it is indeed cancelled, have also not been disclosed.

As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated on this developing story. Stay tuned for further updates on the potential cancellation of the May Day demonstration in Yakutsk.
