Guriev agreed to write an economic program for Navalny
The economic part of the election program of Alexei Navalny for the development of Moscow, who is intended to apply for the post of metropolitan mayor, will write economist Sergei Guriev, who has left for Paris because of the Yukos case. And also, as one of the versions says, due to the sympathy of the opposition and the support of the same Navalny.
“In the near future, we will offer our detailed program for the development of the city. By the way, Sergey Guriev agreed to work on the economic part of the program,” Interfax quotes Navalny’s statement, made at the congress of the regional branch of the RPR -Parnas party on Friday.
The former rector of the Russian School of Economics and a member of the Sberbank Nabor Council have already confirmed that he was ready to help the opposition. "Navalny never lies. It is. I will take part in the development of the program," Guriev said "Interfax."
Navalny also said that in his program it would affect all important topics for the city, including problems of healthcare, construction, housing and communal services. "I will offer a solution to healthcare problems, since we do not get anything in this regard, although we spend as much as other large European cities on this area, however, our life expectancy is 10 years less," the opposition said.
He promised to offer a qualitative solution to the transport problem based on a scientific approach, "and not on what they are doing now, and what was out of the 70s." “Already now we are in traffic jams on a scampress of Leningradka, and we are offered to spend hundreds of billions so that we are in traffic jams in Leninsky,” Navalny said.
The opposition also noted that he would offer a real solution to the problems of illegal migration and corruption: "We will offer serious decentralization of the authorities, because most of the government and money should be spent where people live, and they must be transferred to the district deputies."
"We will drink coffee on Montmartre and discuss theses ..."
Probably, the future candidate and former rector of the Russian Economic School will not be able to afford to discuss the program in a personal meeting. “We agreed that I would come to him in Paris, we will drink coffee on Montmartre and discuss the theses. Oh .. wait ... I can’t go,” Navalny jokes on Twitter , hinting at his own unsteady subscriptions.
“Well then, Guriev will come to me, we will drink coffee on Lublin and discuss the theses. Oh .. wait ... it will not work too,” the oppositionist continues to ironize on Twitter , hinting that Guriev is not going to appear in Russia in the near future.
Earlier it was reported that the partnerships of Alexei Navalny and Sergei Guriev became one of the reasons why the former rector of the Russian School of Economics deteriorated relations with the authorities. This, in particular, was admitted by Guriev himself.
“Sergey Guriev supported me and our corruption fund,” wrote Navalny on the blog immediately after Guriev’s departure. “I am counting on his support further.”
“He was one of those people who openly financed our fund, and publicly explained why he does it. Sergey also spoke out completely openly in the“ Cirovles case, ”Navalny main milestones in his relationship with the current emigrant.
RPR-Parnas chose Navalny as a candidate
The name Navalny on Friday was the only one entered in the ballot for a secret vote according to the candidate from the RPR-Parnas, ITAR-TASS reports. And according to the results of the vote, the opposition was chosen by a majority of votes: 88 delegates supported his candidacy, eight spoke out against it, and the bulletins were invalid, RIA Novosti reports.
Irina Prokhorova, a sister of another, now former, potential opponent Sergei Sobyanin Mikhail Prokhorov, has already announced the support of an opposition candidate.
“I will still listen to what he will offer, how he will express that he sees what he is going to do and make a decision. But in principle, if we look and choose from the remaining candidates, then yes, I think that I will vote for him. He would never have denied it,” said Prokhorova Slon.ru.
