Yuri Luzhkov will become the mayor of Moscow for the fifth time

Deputies of the Moscow City Duma at an extraordinary meeting on Wednesday will consider the end of the endowment of Yuri Luzhkov by the powers of the Moscow Mayor. "United Russia" guaranteed him support, so there will be no problems with approval. Deputies will listen to Luzhkov’s report on how he is going to further develop the capital.

"It is assumed that Luzhkov will speak to the deputies with a half -hour report, answer the questions of parliamentarians, then the secret voting procedure will be held," the Moscow City Duma press service said.

Last Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced the candidacy of Yuri Luzhkov to approve the mayor of the Russian capital, RIA Novosti recalls.

The Vice Speaker of the MGD Andrei Metelsky, the head of the United Russia faction in the city Duma, said that "officially at a meeting of the faction, it was decided to unanimously support Yuri Luzhkov’s candidacy as mayor of Moscow."

"The president said that there are still many unresolved tasks in the city and the fact that Yuri Mikhailovich is early to change work is really a big truth. Because there are many more tasks, and no one is better than him," Metelsky said.

According to RIA Novosti, the head of the apple-united democrats faction in the Moscow City Duma Sergey Mitrokhin, after a violent discussion at a meeting of the Moscow Apple Regional Council, it was decided to support Yuri Luzhkov’s candidacy for the post of voting in the Moscow City Duma on Wednesday.

According to him, the decisive motives for the adoption of this decision were the obvious support of Luzhkov by the majority of Muscovites, including the voters of Yabloko. "Recently, the Moscow mayor has made a number of statements indicating that he had heard the criticism of our faction on a number of key issues of city policy," Mitrokhin said.

According to the State Duma deputy Alexander Lebedev, if Luzhkov, whose powers are expired as mayor in December 2007, will be able to solve the problems existing in Moscow, then the mayor’s change is not needed. “I agree with Vladimir Putin in regard to existing problems. And if these problems are resolved, what is the point of changing the mayor?” He said.

Luzhkov previously said that he would pay special attention to housing construction, social support for the population, transport development and healthcare systems. "We will make proposals so that the second part of the budget also goes to social support of Muscovites. This, first of all, is attention to the older generation, children and youth. We will also provide guarantees for employment for the able -bodied population and increase the first category of a single tariff grid."

"We have a three -year -old, which is the basis of the endless and continuous development of the city. On the nearest Wednesday at a meeting of the Moscow City Duma, I will make a report on the goals that I will offer Muscovites in my further work as a mayor," Luzhkov said.
