An extraneous billboard is prohibited
Removing billboards of the “right business” in several cities at once is an alarming signal for the right. If the removal was authorized by the federal center, then the right will have to work against an administrative resource. Which significantly reduces the already small chances of the right to get into parliament.
Having barely managed to start the election campaign, the “right -handed thing” has already begun to complain that he was offended. According to representatives of the party, posters depicting the leader of the right, businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, were removed at once in several cities - Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Moscow.
In Yekaterinburg, the firewall Mikhail Prokhorov in size 20 by 70 meters was dismantled the day before.
The leader of the right-hand party Mikhail Prokhorov submits a criminal case due to the dismantling of the poster of his social project “Made-In-Russia” in the Center of Yekaterinburg, the party’s press service reports. “Representatives of the Party of the right business” were held consultations with the contractor, which placed this firewall. On behalf of the company, we received an official written notification that dismantling the contractor was not carried out. We have a corresponding document, ”the“ right business ”said in a statement.
In Moscow, according to representatives of the party. Three posters were removed. “The headquarters of the Party of the“ right business ”has not yet received intelligible explanations for these actions,” said the party press secretary Alexei Urazov.
In Novosibirsk, everything seems to be much larger. According to the party members, 180 posters with the leader of the right immediately disappeared from the city streets. The chairman of the local PD Anna Tereshkova said that the posters were removed by order of the city hall, who was going to place social advertising in their place. It was removed or hung with a white cloth, according to the right, there were about 180 posters.
Even if the removal of posters is an annoying misunderstanding, it still will not leave the thought that all this was a planned campaign. The only question is whose exactly. In the case of the party’s elections and candidates often use small tricks, arranging “auto -shot” for the sake of promotion. You can simply not place the poster on the purchased area, and then declare that it disappeared mysteriously.
To the idea that the removal is still not the initiative of the right, it makes a simple coincidence that earlier the same story happened in Moscow with the Communists. Six billboards with Zyuganov were replaced by social advertising in mid -July.
And this already smells of an uncompetitive struggle. Of course, by law it is impossible to conduct a pre-election campaign ahead of schedule, but there are no calls to vote for someone on posters. Formally, the posters are right, that the communists are not at all. Prokhorovsky posters, for example, according to the official version are the promotion of the social project of the businessman Made-In-Russia. However, everyone perfectly understands that these "non -elected" billboards are actually advertising. Exactly as everyone understands the reasons for the creation of the "All -Russian Popular Front" with United Russia at the head
Meanwhile, there were problems for smaller sins. In one of the regions, the "Motherland", when the power of the administrative resource fell on the party, was removed from the elections for congratulating pensioners on the New Year.
There is another fork in this context. If the right ones are removed by local authorities, there is one thing and there is no reason to worry. If the federals joined the solution of the “right question”, this means that in the Kremlin and the White House they will not help the right and give them card blanche. Now they are equated with the Communists. It is likely that the situation will still be allowed to be safely for the right, but the call is alarming.
The chances of “right -handed” to score a passing score of seven percent of the vote are already small. If in addition the party members will have to work during the campaign against the administrative resource, they are significantly reduced.
It seems that Mikhail Prokhorov had reached an agreement regarding the loyalty of the presidential administration to the party. True, the United Russia campaign overtakes, it seems, for the most part, the White House apparatus. Yes, and a sudden revision of the agreements - the horse of Russian policy.
