Billion "Wishlist" of Sverdlovsk officials. The center is in the share!
The Commission of the International Bureau of Exhibitions (MBV) completed the inspection of Yekaterinburg for its readiness for the adoption of EXPO-2020. The city blogosphere once again discuss the prospects of the capital of the Urals for an international exhibition. So, civil activist Vasily Rybakov asks the question: Expo-2020. Do the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg need it?
He analyzed the project and came to the conclusions:
1) The Government of the Sverdlovsk Region, without sparing any forces and means, leads the propaganda of this idea, by any means, an example . The site was created in support of the project . The site provides the main attendant points from this event:
- The openness of Russian society: EXPO 2020 will be the next step in establishing the open relations of Russia with the world community;
- Infrastructure: EXPO 2020 will ensure a significant increase in the influx of investment in the development of infrastructure of the Sverdlovsk region;
- Global mind: EXPO 2020 will allow the first time in history to unite all of humanity in a single dialogue.
2) in the shopping center "Greenwich" (Yekaterinburg). The layout of the planned placement of buildings for "Expo-2020" is set.
Here is the photo :
Photo of layout # 1. Pay attention to the right lower corner. The lake, located there, is called "Healthy."
Photo of layout # 2. In the photo embankment and the city center Yekaterinburg.
And everything seems to be beautiful and smoothly turned out if you don’t know what is hiding behind it. Environmentalists and activists-public activists wrote about the environmental disaster of Lake "Healthy".
"Super thesis Openness of Russian society: EXPO 2020 will be the next step in establishing the open relations of Russia with the world community apparently indicates the imminent end of the Cold War. Well, or the entry into the WTO. Apparently, we are still closed ..
The thesis infrastructure is also notable. The city is especially touched by the city directs significant financial resources to the development of infrastructure: the creation of a modern transport system, technology parks, tourism objects, cultural attractions and the implementation of one of the largest housing construction projects in the world.
Summing up. I see nothing positive in conducting EXPO 2020 in Yekaterinburg. Of course, officials will enrich. And we, as taxpayers, will receive, as in Hannover in 2000, minus 1.2 billion euros. "
The blogger is being supplied - who needs this project?
And he himself indirectly answers him - to officials.
I would raise a question about the validity of economic costs, their payback. Already this year, the “Baby Committee” received 300 million rubles from the budget of the region. I wrote about this: [ budget, as a sacred doial cow ]
Doubt of the elaboration of the budget and profitability of the project is also caused by the statements of A. Dvorkovich: [ the Government of Russia will pay the poorest countries to participate in EXPO-2020 ]
With a trillion deficit of the state budget of Russia and the prospects for slowing down economic growth, for the Sverdlovsk region, when other regions of Russia are on the verge of bankruptcy and technical default, any attracting budget funds is not in the economy of the region, but in the welfare of officials. Unreasonable and unreasonable expenses must be covered, if not real income from the economy, then political statements and Wishlist. It was precisely such Wishlist that the chairman of the Government of the Sverdlovsk region Denis Pasler spoke today
[ The municipalities of the Sverdlovsk region received a chance to line up with the next "Wishlist". ]
My "Wishlist" is easier - honest power, not politicians at the expense of budget funds.
