The Kremlin has a positive attitude towards the creation of new parties in Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on the business ombudsman Boris Titov's plans to create the Party of Business.
"The creation of political parties within the limits of the legislation is encouraged, party diversity and competition between political parties is something that is supported," Peskov noted.
"Of course, the platform on which the party will conduct its work, the line, the ideology of the party are important," TASS cited him as saying. A Kremlin spokesman added that "the whole issue of party construction and development of the country’s political system is quite positive."
