Davankov quarreled Katz and supporters of Navalny

The opposition scolded again because of the presidential election. What happened?

Presidential candidate Vladislav Davankov became a new reason for the conflict within the Russian opposition. Supporters of Alexei Navalny made a sharp criticism of the proposal of Maxim Katz - to purposefully vote for the representative of the New People party. FBK recall the “least nasty” of all candidates voting for the law “On Fakes” and getting into sanctions lists. Supporters of Katz insist that the maximum number of votes filed for one candidate is the best form of protest. The arguments of the parties are in the material of the "cold".

Shortly before the death of Alexei Navalny, a post appeared in his social networks with a proposal to come to vote to the polling station against Putin at 12 o’clock in the afternoon.

“At noon against Putin. This can be a powerful demonstration of the country's mood. Real, living voters against the fiction of “electronic voting”. Real people standing in line to vote against Putin VS fake and drawn voices “For”, ”the post said.

The campaign “Noon against Putin”was supported by a politician led by his wife Julia. They ask everyone who wants to vote against Vladimir Putin to come to the polling station at the same time: at noon on March 17.

“You can vote for any candidate except Putin. You can ruin the ballot. You can write large on it: “Navalny”. And even if you do not see the point in voting at all, then you can just come and stand on the site, and then turn around and go home, ” said Julia Navalny.

One of the main Russian oppositionists, Maxim Katz, joined the election campaign. In his video, which gained more than 900 thousand views, he called on the Russians to vote for the candidate from the New People party Vladislav Davankov.

“The election theses of Davankov are obviously opposed to everything that they are trying to impose on us as the norm - aggressive and inadequate foreign policy, repressive domestic legislation. His election program says: “There is no war, there is no repressive laws, no state informers like Mizulina. It is necessary to become a normal country again.” This is what we want to say, and for this we will vote. I will vote for this, ”Katz said.

According to the opposition, this is the only way to express his anti -war position. At the same time, Katz admits that Vladislav Davankov is a product of the presidential administration.

" FBK plan "

Different views on ways to vote in the presidential election led to the conflict of supporters of Alexei Navalny and subscribers to Maxim Katz. The members of the Navalny team recall that Vladislav Davankov is under the sanctions of many countries of the world.

“No need to scare away people to come to the polls with stupid calls to vote for one specific cannibal,” wrote Georgy Alburov, head of the investigation department of the Navalny team investigation.

Ruslan Shadadinov believes the chief of the FBK channel “Popular Policy” that campaign against Putin and the general action is more important than voting for a specific candidate from the list. In the refers, he is massively objected to him: many said that it was more efficient to vote for one person.

“The FBK plan comes at 12:00 on the 17th to the site, and if anyone wants, votes for anyone against Putin or spoils the ballot. What will be in the urn is less important than the fact of arrival at the right time. Since the urn will still calculate “as it should” ” - the supporters of the action“ Noon against Putin ” write .

Many FBK supporters speak out against voting precisely for Vladislav Davankov. They are outraged that an anti -war candidate is called a person who voted for the adoption of bills on military fakes and discrediting the army. Some users criticize Davankov for the help of the Russian military and post a video where the candidate talks about their trips to the occupied territories.

Supporters of the FBK also noticed that Vladislav Davankov, in his election campaign, copies the image of Alexei Navalny before the 2018 presidential election. The resemblance is noted in the design of leaflets, the site , and even in the manner of the candidate to roll the sleeves of the shirt. Some users said that after such agitation they will definitely not vote for Davankov.

" Team " Katsa

Some supporters of Maxim Katz did not support the call of the Navalny team to come to the polling stations on March 17 at 12:00. They insist that it is necessary to vote precisely for Vladislav Davankov - otherwise it will be a "plot of water to Putin's mill." Some subscribers of Maxim Katz arranged a flash mob with rhymed calls to vote for Davankov:

Most of the users who supported the position of Katz urge to vote for Vladislav Davankov, citing the argument that he is “the least nasty” of all the candidates. Some believe that the election campaign with the program “For Peace and Negotiations” in the current situation is already anti -war. There are those who offer a compromise: come to the site on March 17 at 12:00 and vote for Davankov.

After the conflict, Maxim Katz himself, after the conflict of his subscribers with the FBC and the supporters of Navalny, released a new video in which he again called to give a voice for Vladislav Davankov.

“We are not suitable for any“ vote for anyone, as you like, and in general - it is not necessary to vote, just to come at noon. ” We need to call on to vote for the world, for the candidate who raised this slogan to the flag. For Davankova, ”says Katz. At the end of the video, he noticed that "it is disgusting, but [to the elections] we must go."

The presidential elections in Russia will be held from March 15 to March 17, 2024. At the end of 2023, the Central Election Commission did not allow a journalist from the Tver region to Ekaterina Duntsov, who opposed the war, before the collection of signatures to participate in them. At the beginning of 2024, the CEC refused to register Boris Nadezhdin, who was also positioned as an anti -war candidate. The commission recognized as invalid more than 5% of signatures for it. Opposition politicians supported the nomination of Ekaterina Duntsova and Boris Nadezhdin. After the refusal of both of the elections, the opposition concentrated on agitation "for any other than Putin."
