New People Party Unveils Bold Digital Freedom Manifesto at Annual Congress
The New People party held its annual congress to outline future plans and review recent achievements. Leader Alexey Nechayev presented a new manifesto titled 12 Steps Toward a Country Worth Living In, focusing on digital freedoms and social reforms. The event also highlighted the party's legislative record and regional projects.
During the congress, Nechayev's manifesto proposed ending social media blockades and promoting greater trust in internet regulation. The party has long opposed stricter online controls, higher conscription ages, and platform restrictions.
The faction's legislative work was another key topic. In the current State Duma session, New People introduced 525 bills, with 43.8% passing into law. This success rate surpasses other opposition parties: the Communist Party (41.3%), A Just Russia – For Truth (35.2%), and the LDPR (31.6%). A new campaign to expand free Wi-Fi access was also announced. Portable routers will be deployed in areas with poor mobile internet coverage. Beyond digital initiatives, the congress showcased regional projects, from environmental and animal welfare programs to urban development and the educational drive *I'm In*, which now involves over 620 universities. The party claims 735 deputies are actively working in regional governments across the country.
The congress reinforced New People's focus on digital openness, education, and regional engagement. With a legislative success rate higher than other opposition groups, the party aims to push further reforms. The proposed Wi-Fi campaign and manifesto signal a continued push for less restrictive internet policies.
