The Governor of the Samara Region threatened to “never” to pay off the debts of the AvtoVAZ supplier

The salary debts to employees of AvtoVAZGAGAGAS - a supplier of components for AvtoVAZ - will not be repaid "never". This was stated by the Governor of the Samara Region Nikolai Merkushkin during the speech to the residents of the Avtozavodsky district Togliatti, writes New Gazeta.

“Well, what do I want to say. If you talk in this tone, never! Never! Those who warm you up, ask them, ”Merkushkin answered complaints from one of the employees of AvtoVAZGAGAS.

When the woman explained that the authorities have been promising to pay salaries for the second year, Merkushkin added:

"I know. You listen! You listen to me now. That's when including the American ambassador, he came in order to warm up just these people, and then they showed them for the whole world for a month. The whole world! People without salaries. We understand. We forced 160 million rubles, 160 million rubles from the money earned by the owners who came here five years ago, from the money to pay wages. Illegal. We forced illegally. It's clear? They can sue me. On me. "

“Volga News” reported that Merkushkin, speaking of the debt of AvtoVAZGAGAGAS on salaries, emphasized that the employees of the company itself were paid, but with the “daughters” of the enterprise “The situation is more complicated”. He noted that "the regional government is now working on the mechanisms of gradual repayment of debts."

Merkushkin is known for his ambiguous statements and other issues. In mid-August of this year, he stated that the e-mail of the Government of the Samara region was hacked by a “group prepared by the CIA”, which had previously hacked the mail of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev and mail of the Ministry of Defense. According to Merkushkin, the Samara region was chosen, as for a long time it served as the “main training ground for the experiments of the Western”, and the main role in the western conspiracy was played by the deputy of the Supreme Council of the USSR Galina Starovoitova.
