Business Ombudsman Boris Titov asks for “just cause” – BBC

The Chairman of the “right things” Vyacheslav Maratkanov said “Gazeta.ru” that Boris Titov, offered him his own candidacy for possible inclusion in the list of the party in the elections to the State Duma.

“The conversation came on Sunday in the forum ONF (Stavropol -” Times “), in which we both participated. In the course of our discussion Titov offered its facilities and services to build a list, and maybe his entry into the party lists, denser to working with her.

However, one of his desire is not enough. The final decision depends on my party members, “- said Maratkanov.

The leader of the PDP said that the proposal of business ombudsman will be discussed at the political council of the” right things “in the beginning of February. Next, the decision must be approved by the Congress party. However, in general, according to the leader of the PD, the idea does not seem unrealistic to him.

The party, he said, is open for dialogue with various business organizations and public associations. Maratkanov believes that to achieve success in the elections right-wing forces should unite around the theme of protection of small and medium-sized businesses.

«We have been negotiating with large and socially-responsible business, who sees himself in politics, including and Titov. He Display figure, why not? Moreover, there is a story, he was the founder of the party at the time, and her co-chair. But we still have one vacancy on the podium, “- says the leader of the PD.

A source close to the leadership of the” right things “, says Boris Titov has already been approved on top of it, to lead the party :

«Recently, the president’s administration gave its approval Titov out to lead in this project».

A source close to most business ombudsman states, however, that he was not specifically approved by the “just cause”, and in general to return to politics. According to him, representatives Titov really went the “right things” and not he to them.

Another source of “Gazety.Ru” surrounded by business ombudsman said that Titov had long wanted to create a right-wing liberal party: “I hope this time it srastetsya».

A spokesman for business ombudsman Tatyana Marchenko said “Gazeta.ru”, that she had no information about an agreement between Titov and Maratkanova.

Earlier, in an interview with Business FM, she reported that negotiations with Titov are all right-wing parties, which have the ability to nominate candidates for the Duma elections without collecting signatures: “They need to gain, and everything leads us negotiate. About what is the name of the party will probably become clear in the near future ».

Right-wing parties, which have a federal license – that is, the ability to not collecting autographs in the elections to the State Duma, today three “just cause”, “Civic Platform” and “Civil Force».

Boris Titov is one of the founders of the “right things”. In 2008, he collapsed at the time of ATP merged with the Democratic Party of Russia and other mikropartiey – “Civil Force”, the supreme council was headed by Titov. The new party and called “just cause”. Co-chaired by himself Titov, politician Leonid Gozman and international journalist Georgy Bovt.

In February 2011, Titov because of disagreements with other co-left PD.

In summer 2011, the party got a second wind – it was headed by businessman Mikhail Prokhorov. However, in the autumn he was the victim of intra-party coup organized by the Kremlin. Prokhorov left the PDP. In the course of the conflict, he publicly called the then curator of domestic policy, Vladislav Surkov “puppeteer».

However, not only the “just cause” is ready to provide its platform Titov. Do not mind this in the “Civic Platform».

The leader of the “GP” Rifat Shaikhutdinov said “Gazeta.ru” that Titov their ideological views are very similar: “We recently crossed paths with him at one event at the end of December, although it did not conduct any negotiations on that he entered into the list of the party. ” Shaikhutdinov said that its structure is open to talks with Titov.

Moreover, in his view, if Titov chosen GP, ​​the party will only be won, “I think it would be useful ».

« And the “Civic Platform” and “just cause” failed project for elections – a political analyst Nikolai Mironov. – Both parties have no serious chance of winning. Maybe GP more opportunities due partly preserved party network, but it is unlikely to produce tangible results.

Another thing is that the result of any Titov, nor the Kremlin is not needed.

Their task is not to take a solid position in the parliament and to implement its program and to localize the middle class in the elections, to divide the electorate and not let him go to a real opposition. And at the same time continue the simulation business protection ».

According to Mironov, If Titov could not solve the problems of the business community for the work of business ombudsman, it is unlikely that he will do something in the Duma.

«This is not the first project of the Kremlin electoral right. In the Kremlin, no one thinks about how to really create a party of the middle class. All they want – to control and potentially disloyal disloyal electorate. The purpose and aim in itself – the preservation of the monopoly of power.

A strong independent second party nobody wants “, – the expert concludes.

Political analyst Vyacheslav Smirnov said that in any case, Titov is still a long negotiations with the leadership of the party, which he wants to lead: “Now there is a buzz around the political forces that have the right to nominate candidates without collecting signatures. But no one is going so easy to take the party leaders from ».
