The congress of the Communist Party nominated Gennady Zyuganov as a presidential candidate. According to Interfax, 215 out of 218 congress delegates voted for the candidacy of Zyuganov. The election of the candidate was held on a non -alternative basis.
During the congress, Gennady Zyuganov presented his election program. In particular, the leader of the Communists believes that the bowels should be nationalized by the state, and the funds of the stabilization fund are aimed at improving the lives of citizens. In addition, Zyuganov spoke out for the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty.
"The Communist Party requires the nationalization of the country's natural resources and the strategic industries - electric power industry, the military -industrial complex, transport and communications - to introduce the state monopoly on the production and sale of alcohol and tobacco," Zyuganov said.
According to the leader of the Communist Party, it is necessary to reconsider the "anti -people laws adopted after 1991." He included the law on monetization of benefits, OSAGO, land, water and labor codes.
Zyuganov proposes to "return the funds of the stab fund to Russia and invest them in the modernization of industry, agriculture, the revival of science, culture, healthcare and the army."
According to him, taxes must be redistributed so that 40 percent are received to the federal center, and the regions remain 60 percent.
Zyuganov also considers it necessary to introduce a preferential system for lending families with children, in which, at the birth of a third child, a loan for an apartment would be written off completely, and introduce the tax "for the rich".
The head of the Communist Party called the United Russia Presidential Basis to the Presidential Basis and expressed confidence that the presidential election would be held in two rounds.
The Communist Party is a parliamentary, therefore, it is spared the need to collect two million signatures in support of its candidate to submit documents to the CEC. Gennady Zyuganov will participate in the presidential race for the third time. Zyuganov did not participate in the 2004 presidential election.
At the congress, it was also decided that Zyuganov would lead the Communist Party faction in the State Duma.
Earlier, the coalition coalition, another Russia, Eduard Limonov said that the opposition was trying to agree with the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Unified Opposition Candidate of the President. According to Limonov, if the Communists agree to nominate their “too odious” leader Gennady Zyuganov, but his first deputy Ivan Melnikov, then candidates from the democratic camp will support this candidacy.
