The State Duma can increase the state financing of parliamentary parties 2.5 times

The state support of parties that scored more than 3% of the vote in the Duma elections can increase 2.5 times. Corresponding amendments were submitted yesterday at a meeting of the Government Prime Minister and leader of United Russia Dmitry Medvedev. As expected, the bill will be submitted to the State Duma in the near future.

The Vice Speaker of the State Duma from United Russia, Sergei Zheleznyak, explained to Kommersant that "new financing will begin from the moment the law is adopted," and the first vice-speaker of the State Duma from the Communist Party Ivan Melnikov said that if the law is adopted, since 2013, "United Russia" will receive 1.618 billion, the Communist Party of the Communist Party, "Fair Russia"-434-434 Milln, LDPR - 383 million, and Yabloko - 112 million rubles. per year. According to Medvedev, this will strengthen the "financial stability of parties."

Igor Lebedev, Vice Speaker of the State Duma from the LDPR, sees plus the bill in the fact that there will be no questions to the parties, who gives money, because "the state gives money." Do not against the "help for a modest budget" and the chairman of "Yabloko" Sergey Mitrokhin.

In parties that received registration only in 2012, they are unhappy with the initiative of the government. The RPR-Parnas believes that this will “strengthen non-enlightenment” between new and old parties, and the “communists of Russia” say that if the Communist Party will receive half a billion, we will be difficult for us to compete with this resource, ”therefore they offer to“ provide for financing non-parliamentary parties based on regional elections ”.
