The liberal Yabloko party filed a lawsuit Monday against the general plan for Moscow's development through 2025, saying the document violated multiple regulations and served commercial developers, not Muscovites.
The plan was passed by the City Duma in a first reading in December, despite the fact that the results of the mandatory state expertise were not delivered at the time, Yabloko head Sergei Mitrokhin said.
No one has seen these results yet," he told The Moscow Times.
Mitrokhin said this violation alone was enough to make the plan void, Interfax reported.
