Hesitated to fight

The Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region Yevgeny Kuyvashev imposed a veto on the law adopted the day before, which liquidates the post of head of the city of Yekaterinburg. This was reported by Evgeny Roizman, occupying this post.

“Oh how! The governor imposed a veto on the law on the head of the city! He came up with - and he put it himself. All -all, no one is going anywhere,” Roizman wrote.

The authors of amendments to the regional law on renaming the position from the “head of the city - Chairman of the Duma“ DO “Chairman of the Duma” were communist Dmitry Shadrin and Uneneros Alexei Korobeinikov, Kommersant reports . In their opinion, Roizman does not manage the city, since the administration is led by the City Manager Alexander Jacob hired under the contract. In addition, lawmakers deprived the city hall of authority to coordinate rallies and the placement of advertising structures. 31 deputies voted for the draft law, and six, three abstained.

"A lot of questions to the law, he violates federal legislation, but the main thing is the deception of people. They came to the election of the head of the city, this position is in Yekaterinburg for a quarter of the millennium. It is necessary to change the charter - it is doubtful that the city thought will go for this," Roizman said. In his opinion, the adoption of the law is beneficial to the governor. “For me, this is not so important: you can’t leave my name,” the politician noted.

On September 8, 2013, the Roizman, nominated by the Civil Platform party, Mikhail Prokhorov, won the election of the head of Yekaterinburg , receiving a third of the votes of voters. He was ahead of the candidate from United Russia, Jacob Silin.

On September 24, 2013, at a meeting of the Yekaterinburg City Duma, Roizman was approved . The deputies from Fair Russia and the Party of Pensioners boycotted the meeting, breaking the quorum, after which they challenged the statement of Roizman in court. On October 1, the prosecutor's office recognized the decision of the City Duma by illegitimate. However, on October 3, the Leninsky district court of Yekaterinburg refused the deputies in the lawsuit .
