The party also significantly updated its governing bodies; sounded a number of policy statements generally aimed at improving the image of the “United Russia”.
Anti-bribery and nepotism
The first stage of the Congress, “United Russia” decided to carry out before the official start of the election campaign ( its start will be given by a presidential decree in the period from 30 May to 19 June). The key issue was to be the adoption of the draft of the primaries, work on which was carried the last few months
The essence of the primaries is that everyone -. Member of the “United Russia”, or non-partisan – out into the open rating vote, during which they will be able to assess ordinary voters. The primaries, which will be held across the country on the same day, 22 May, will be preceded by a debate and campaign activities, participation in which will be for all mandatory.
early voting Conducting United Russia pay special attention, believing that with his help the party will be able to identify opinion leaders and strong candidates that the “United Russia” will take part in the elections.
“Greenhouse candidates we do not need. The only ones who get the real support of the people, will participate in the elections of deputies of the State Duma is no other way to get into the list of “United Russia” there is simply no “, -. the chairman of United Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister, speaking to the delegates of the Congress. Prime Minister separately noted that the election “contractual lists, push the friendly people will not.” “Game” giveaway “We do not need” – said the leader of the
In general, at the Congress on Saturday, the United Russia party is clearly identified a number of areas, which obviously will be key to further define the party’s image
So, a refrain sounded at the congress the idea of giving up the clan and “nepotism” in politics. This issue was raised a deputy Valery Trapeznikov, who urged “to adopt a resolution – down political dynasty of the party”.. United Russia “
His promise has supported the party leadership, Dmitry Medvedev said that the formation of the electoral list of exclusions should not be even to close friends. “Family dynasty – it’s good, when it comes to working or creative professions” -. he explained
“In our opinion, and I personally support it, it is unacceptable that today place policy to be inherited, “- said for his part the Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, State Duma Deputy speaker Sergei Neverov However, he did not support the proposal for a regulation of this matter at the level of regulations, explaining what it is.” greater moral and ethical standards. ”
Another story, in which emphasis was placed, was the inability to win the primaries in some unofficial way, for example, by bribing the electorate. This issue is raised with the Secretary of the Congress rostrum branch of the party from Yaroslavl Ilya Osipov. “We as a party can not afford it, otherwise the candidate discredits not only itself – would discredit the Party” -. Emphasized it
It is no accident in the draft regulation appeared item, according to which in the case of established fact of bribery of party primaries or his representatives voters he may be excluded from the list of early voting
party program:. no “golden mountains”
The moral aspect is signaled Medvedev, will be important also in the preparation of the electoral program party, the beginning of the formation of a declared leader of United Russia at the Congress.
He called on party members “not to give up sensitive subjects at the mercy of opponents”, “openly and honestly explain to the people all the most complex solutions and points of view, to tell how why they have taken and how. ” Criticizing and “left” and “right” for populism and excessive liberalism, respectively, Prime Minister at the same time urged voters not promise “golden mountains”, that the party will not be able to perform. “We – a responsible political force, especially in a tough budget”, – he said
As a priority, he called social issues, such as support for low-income families, to overcome the shortage of medicines, care of. children in difficult life situation. . “The main task of the state – any state, and of our including – to help and protect the task of the Party -. Supervise that this was indeed the case,” – said Medvedev, adding that “we (the” United Russia “) can do it,”
at the same time with a course on social assistance to certain categories of Prime citizens as a priority, said business support (through the introduction of a number of tax benefits) and the self-employed.
it is possible to assume that all these proposals anyway will be reflected in the election program, with which the party will go to the Duma elections.
Technically, the collection offers a program started even before, when the first day of the Congress party members in breakout sessions format communicated with members of the Russian government. On Saturday, the “United Russia” has created a working group for the preparation of the program, which was headed by Medvedev personally. Also was composed of deputies of the State Duma, political scientists, representatives of scientific circles. The program, according to Medvedev, to be developed “as soon as possible”, while “carefully consider the content of”
Rotation -. Without the “official image”
Another solution, in the final eventually playing the image of the party, became the planned rotation, which have undergone the Supreme and the General Council of the party, as well as the Central Auditing commission, has lost henceforth determination. “audit”
a total of rotation undergone about one third of the composition of the governing bodies party.
In particular, the Supreme Council were withdrawn Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, the head of the Ministry of Education Dmitry Livanov. “As these ministers you, we have always had issues and economic bloc, and the Ministry of Education decision, which was adopted today -. The decision peer, he was received by the Congress,” – said Neverov, when asked TASS about the reasons for the termination their powers.
also, the Supreme Council left a number of former heads of the RF subjects, including Vyacheslav Gaiser and Nicholas Deneen, have become involved in criminal cases.
However, the Supreme Council were doizbrany 24 new members, among which almost was not professional politicians, but there are businessmen, TV presenters, representatives from the education sector.
According to experts, such a rotation will allow the “United Russia” to get rid of the image of the “party officials” and attract new electoral group.
“It is unique to the” United Russia “event, as previously,” United Russia “is largely associated with the party of bureaucrats and officials. Now, if we look at the list of those who entered the Supreme Council leadership and the General Council, it is largely public figures, activists, representatives of civil society, and it significantly changes the image of the party “, – told Tass analyst Pavel Danilin
.” United Russia “is cleared from the reputation of the party exclusively bureaucracy and demonstrates that is the party of all sections of the population, “- agrees analyst Gleb Kuznetsov
main stage
The second phase of the Congress.” United Russia “is scheduled for June: after the official announcement of the elections the party must be approved the list of its candidates and single-mandate in the elections to the State Duma on September 18 and the pre-election program.
what luggage party will come to this stage, will largely depend on the primaries, which Medvedev described as “basic procedure” to take part not only in the State Duma elections, but also in the “party life”.
