Direct speech

Yuri Shmatov, Chairman of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies: “I believe that if Deputy Igor Savitsky speaks about the illegality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov Region, then he has such facts and they need to be checked. It seems to me expedient to create a parliamentary commission that will check the facts and give its assessment in order to stop unnecessary talk on this issue.”

According to the PLN, May 13. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Anatoly Koposov, Deputy Chairman of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies, Communist Party faction: “There can be no talk about the illegality of subsidizing the alcohol industry from the budget of the Pskov Region, since the relevant law was adopted, and he said that in our region all enterprises producing alcohol industry, regardless of the form of ownership. Last year, we already held parliamentary hearings on this topic, but for some reason Igor Nikolayevich did not come to them. We even recommended to the Assembly to reconsider the issue of subsidizing the alcohol industry and the operation of this law was suspended from January 1, so I see no reason to return to this topic.”

According to the PLN, May 14. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Valentin Kalensky, Deputy Chairman of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies, United Russia faction: “It seems to me that Igor Savitsky got a little excited and confused politics with the economy, speaking about the issue of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region. I don’t know if I will support Igor Savitsky’s initiative to create a deputy group to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry, since I don’t know where he has such data from.”

According to the PLN, May 14. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Alexander Khristoforov, Deputy Chairman of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies: “The results of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov Region speak for themselves, so I do not agree with the opinion of Deputy Igor Savitsky.”

According to the PLN, May 14. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Gennady Podznoev, Deputy Chairman of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies: “I believe that the problem of the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry needs to be studied by creating a deputy group for this, which will check all the facts, and then they will be given a legal assessment.”

According to the PLN, May 17. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Boris Polozov, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies: “The question is not whether the alcohol industry was legally or illegally subsidized in the Pskov region, since the corresponding law was adopted by the deputies, but how the Pskovpischeprom CJSC was denationalized and where the state facilities".

According to the PLN, May 17. The statement was made after the statement of the deputy Igor Savitsky about the need to check the legality of subsidizing the alcohol industry in the Pskov region.

Vasily Salopov, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly of Deputies, United Russia faction: “If we talk about the fact that since 2000 the regional budget subsidizes the private production of alcohol, then it is necessary to start with the fact that there have never been restrictions on which enterprises will receive subsidies, and they were received by all enterprises of the alcohol industry in the Pskov region. In addition, in the original version of the law, it was stipulated that 51% of the company's shares should be state-owned, but at the request of deputies Polozov and Savitsky, this clause was removed. I do not understand what exactly Igor Savitsky intends to check and what status this check will have. We gave up subsidies this year, so the law on subsidies is no longer in force, but, as they say, about the dead, what this law is, in fact, is either said well or not said at all.
