The Founding Parliament Movement calls for the citizens to begin acts of disobedience against the authorities from this day forward by not paying traffic violation fines, said a statement by the movement’s coordinator Jirair Sefilian.
“You already know that we are inviting you to come out on the streets on April 24. However until then, in order to weaken the regime, we will begin acts of disobedience starting today. As the first act, we call for people to stop paying fines for traffic violations. It is not a secret that a large part of the fines indirectly passes to the criminal oligarch system instead of the state budget. Hence, with that step we do not allow the regime to oppress us, as well as deny them a significant sum of money.
Instead of paying fines, we suggest you to take advantage of the possibilities afforded in the law and to delay paying them by six months. While on April 24 we will come out on the streets and begin a process which will remove the regime. After that the new government will nullify all accumulated fines and penalties during the regime’s reign through a national amnesty,” stated Sefilyan.
He also stressed that “after removing the regime the new government would essentially reduce the level of fines and penalties according to our citizens' salaries.”
At the same time, Sefilyan urged to not consider the above mentioned as a call to break the law and to strictly continue following the rules of the road.
