In recent months, the leadership of the Popular Front received signals from several regions of the pressure local authorities to activists Front, told RBC co-chairman of the central headquarters ONF Olga Timofeeva. According to her, the problem will be the theme of the next meeting of the Central Headquarters of the Front.
«The headquarters is scheduled for next week – she specified. – We will discuss the situation in the regions and will decide what measures to take to protect our colleagues, who are subjected to pressure from the authorities, fighting for change in the situation on the ground ».
Timofeev calls actions of local officials,” awesome “, considering that “ONF – presidential movement”: it is the leader, Vladimir Putin.
Compare with “front” Yatsenyuk
In recent years, the leadership of ONF received signals about the pressure local activists from a dozen regions, told RBC representative front. As an example, ONF interlocutors bring the situation in the Tver region, the Stavropol Territory and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District.
In Tver “soldiers” regional officials invited to the administration and threatened, told RBC co-chairman of the local headquarters of Vladimir Kuznetsov. According to him, the local authorities were unhappy that the “veterans” check the integrity of procurement and district authorities told the Public Television of low quality housing was built in the town of Bologoye.
June 3 officials have been invited to his other co-chair of the local Staff and the head of the executive committee, says Kuznetsov. “We are insulted, compared with the Ukrainian” Front “Arseniy Yatsenyuk, claimed that our work is anti-state and aimed at denigrating the field” – he continues to “soldier.” (“Popular Front” – a member of the ruling coalition party of Ukrainian Premier Yatsenyuk hardliner in the Donbass).
According to Kuznetsov, then officials proceeded to threats. “The message was something like this: you live in the territory of the Tver region, you have relatives here, we know everything about you, you’re on the hook” – recounts Kuznetsov. He argues that those given to understand that the region’s governments have dirt on members of the regional headquarters.
Furthermore, according to the activist ONF, the regional authorities have criticized even co-chairman of the Central Staff of the movement led by the Public Chamber, Alexander and Brechalova ONF managers monitoring centers, which work against officials found regional officials.
When prompted RBC Acting Head of the Department of Information Policy of the Government of the Tver region, Konstantin Sokolov called the accusations by the ONF “counterproductive and baseless.” According to him, the government sees no reason to limit the work of the regional branch of the Popular Front, on the contrary, is aimed at constructive cooperation with them. Moreover, it was developed an algorithm: identification of problems – informing the authorities – a joint decision.
But while the Department of ONF “not focused” on this approach, complains Sokolov. According to him, the regional authorities initiated a round table discussion with representatives of the Popular Front emerged difficulties.
The staff we can not decree
On the other co-chairman of the Central Staff of the Popular Front, Olga Timofeev pressured Stavropol authorities. This is evidenced by the very Timofeev. “Local officials in private conversations told me that I disgrace edge. Put pressure on me and my friends, “- she said. The names of the officials Timofeev not call.
A spokesman for the governor Alexei Nose responded by saying that the question itself is surprising, it is not aware of any attempts to pressure from the government to the edge of the representatives of the Popular Front, and it “marks ONF crucial role in building dialogue between the authorities and civil society ».
« As for the creative activity of the co-chairman of ONF O.V.Timofeevoy – the government has the edge there are no conflicts with the journalists, “- said nose. Before the transition to parliamentary work Timofeev worked as a journalist on the Stavropol television (in 2008 became a member of the City Duma, in 2012 – the State Duma). “The executive branch of Stavropol is interested in open and constructive dialogue with all employees of the regional and federal media sphere”, – said the nose.
Together with his Nos response sent a letter from the co-chairman of RBC’s regional headquarters ONF Sergey Shevelev, refuting the arguments Timofeeva . “I do not feel any” pressure “or opposition from the governments of the region, – says the move. – If someone “under pressure” – let me turn and talk about it. ” ONF activist said that he always meets the support and understanding from the provincial authorities.
In the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous pressure from regional authorities co-chairman of the local Staff complains Consta quarantine Ternovoy, says a representative front. He found too expensive purchase made by the district health department. Thereafter, control service KhMAO began organizing unscheduled inspections “Khanty-Mansiysk Medical Academy”, which employs provost’s wife Thorn, said the representative of ONF. Rector of the Academy of Fedor Petrovsky called administrative checks Terrorism is intended to intimidate the family Thorn.
The Administration of the Governor Natalia Komarova KhMAO in response to a request to comment on the suspicion RBC ONF sent a copy of the submission of the District Prosecutor’s Office with the requirement to eliminate violations of budget spending KhMAO Medical Academy . The document is aimed dated April 23 of this year, and it says that on the basis of orders Petrovsky improperly spent over 11 million rubles. Prize money went to Petrovsky, and his staff, said in a presentation. Based on the results of inspections prosecutors KhMAO made 13 rulings against Petrovsky.
«The history of inspections and problems with the academy stretches not the first day, and associate it with statements to the media about the perinatal center, or something else at least not correctly” – said RBC’s press secretary Olena Shumakova district administration. She says the government of Yugra and the regional branch of the ONF has developed fruitful cooperation. “We are open for constructive cooperation, are interested in further development of cooperation with the ONF,” – assured Shumakova.
The pressure on the ground
In some cases, the pressure to ” soldiers “have not only regional, but also the city government. According to the Popular Front, after the publication of the results of monitoring the implementation of the May presidential decrees in the Altai Krai, Barnaul city administration threatened one of the co-chairs of the regional headquarters of “retirement.” Threats were made by the city authorities and the head of the executive committee of the Kirov.
In a dispute Ryazan city council and activists of the Popular Front was created when the Popular Front of the Center for Legal Support of Journalists (TSPPZH) had to participate the prosecutor’s office. TSPPZH stood up for several local publications, who complained that their representatives do not give access to meetings of council, its committees and commissions. The Prosecutor’s Office of the Soviet district of Ryazan activists also supported the position of the Popular Front, recognizing that the rules of this Parliament do not fully settled the question of access to the media coverage of his work. Speaker of the Duma was made a representation to eliminate violations of the law on the media.
However, the City Duma did not consider the prosecutor’s injunction justified violations of its regulations are not found and, in turn, made a special statement condemning the position of ONF. The criticism from the leadership TSPPZH deputies called “insult of all deputies” and promised to “take appropriate response measures.” In response, ONF activists sent an appeal to the Prosecutor General with a request to investigate the situation and to achieve compliance with the law and regulations previously issued by the prosecutor’s.
«ONF adheres offensive tactics and tries to perform data movement installation, eliminating the shortcomings of the administration. Presidential movement actualizes federal trend that regional officials often do not follow “- says political analyst Konstantin Kalachev. However, according to experts, there are questions about the level of competence and professionalism of the people who study the problems in the regions for the most ONF. In Tver, Khanty-Mansiysk and the Stavropol region, judging by the situation there, the Front claims may be well-founded, says the analyst.
