“We tried to talk to authorities before closing the roads. But since we couldn’t get through them, this was the last option for us. We would like to officially apologize to our people,” said G. Uyanga, chief editor of Political newspaper.

Along with Baasan and P. Bold, head of the My Mongolian Homeland Movement, Uyanga affirmed next week’s All People’s Congress and introduced a few plans.

“Closing the roads helped the movements to become more united. Now we’re planning to participate in the All People’s Congress together,” said Bold.  

Members from the Soyombo Movement, Healthy and Just Society Movement as well as the Green Party are now joining in the public congress and currently advertising next week’s event in the countryside. 

“The head of the Soyombo Movement S. Ganbaatar is on a business trip to Darkhan and Erdenet to collect votes for the congress. Also mobile poll boxes are being distributed around the town from today. They will be delivered to organizations and companies as well In this manner, we would like to collect as many votes as possible,” said G. Uyanga.  

The first day of All People’s Congress will be only a meeting. And on the following day, results of the poll will be announced and further plans discussed.

Participants will have mandates which can be acquired from the Free Elders Association, Baasan said, or from the booths placed in the front of the square.

“Participants can give their votes while acquiring mandates.”

The civil movements announced they have three goals for organizing this congress, but will change it depending on the poll results. One goal however is whether to resign the current President and the Government.

As G. Uyanga said, if people will vote in support of the current President and the Government, they will change the goal and direction of the congress. 

According to the leaders no violent actions will be taken during the congress.

“If violent actions such as fights or the breaking of windows occur during the meeting, we will consider them from outside provokers. We have secured our participants from such crimes,” said Bold.

Movements also stated that they have taken victims of credit and savings unions into their attention.
