On the one hand, tell someone a year ago that after these elections we would follow and comment on the Moscow City Duma with such attention and even bitterness, and even on the budget, that someone would laugh out loud. Well, always this body seemed somehow inconceivably boring and slurred. Now, after the first meeting, Muscovites “burlanulo”. And this is good!
Politics is increasingly becoming a common topic of discussion and ceases to be something elitist. Though due to the populist statements of the majority of the opposition, but this does not change the essence - we began to really care about the activities of the city authorities.
So, the first meeting of the MHD was about the city budget. At least, this should have been the central agenda, as a result, everyone was worried about the rules, the order of discussion, and, in the opinion of some offended opposition deputies, and a biased attitude towards them. Like, they interrupted, distorted the names, did not allow to speak, and so on. That is, while some were discussing our wallets and savings with us, others were engaged in some garbage for show and reporting.
Muff-muff-muff and puff-puff-puff, nothing on the case. There is every chance that these opposition dol ... deputies will be remembered exactly that way. While honest people were happy with the adopted budget, deputies from the people were indignant. I don’t understand what they wanted to achieve - to make the budget different? Distribute it to something else, and not to social programs? Or was it all a circus to attract attention, working for the camera and the public? Well, how else to explain the discussion stretched to five hours ?! Or do the deputies really have nothing more to do than sit for half a day?
The insults of the opposition are mainly about the fact that they did not like how their colleagues spoke to them. That is, they showed insufficient respect. Well, so you do something, achieve and get your stock of trust and respect. In the meantime, an eyesore, cackling bazaar grandmas taking places for hype.
The discussion of the budget in the end ended in disputes, disruptions and replicated lies. For example, about the fact that they did not answer the questions of the opposition. Actually no: 77 questions were asked and only seven remained unanswered.
One of the noisiest deputies, Daria Besedina, is completely slipping to personal insults towards the chairman of the Moscow State Duma Alexei Shaposhnikov. In her opinion, the only thing he was doing was creating the appearance of violent activity, “sorting through some pieces of paper” and generally behaving obscene.
But Daria is silent that she herself sat almost all the time in her smartphone and continued to sit in it after asking a question, not becoming to listen to the answer. What is it? Is there a log in the eye?
Not to mention all the other attacks from the opposition towards Shaposhnikov, who was elected by the majority of the deputies, including those who supported the so-called smart vote.
It would seem that you fought so hard for these elections, threw all your strength into this Moscow City Duma, but now what? Are you ready to spend all your resources on squabbles? But what about your voter, whom, in your words, you care so much for?
What will he get? While this is more and more like an unproductive throwing on a fan. Instead of fighting with real problems and helping real people, you set yourself as an enemy a faceless image, a pro-government party.
From you, the opposition, I do not have enough consistency. Why do not you continue to conduct the same broad campaign as a united front, which was in the elections? Is the money over? Reporting delivered? Your activity has died and calmed down, but you yourself continue to hang out abroad. It remains all sorts of funny red-haired girls to attract attention squabbles, not deeds.
