Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the elected leaders of the regions – the winners of the elections that took place in a single day of voting on 14 September. Among the 30 were four of Siberia, including the new Governor of the Novosibirsk region, Vladimir Gorodetsky. The President gave an assessment Gone elections and have priorities in the work of the officials received positions.
«Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Hi everybody.
Behind the big domestic political work, a single day of voting. In this regard, I will say again what a lot of time talking about. It was the largest in the history of Russian election campaign. Residents almost all regions, almost all chose their representatives in regional and municipal authorities. In particular, the elections were held in the Crimea and Sevastopol.
The main result – the company has demonstrated its solidarity in the various challenges. Emphasize that the support was precisely those political forces that are ready to defend our national interests in favor of the development and strengthening of our state.
The election was held at a decent level. In this regard, I wish to thank all those who participated in their preparation and conduct: electoral officials, party, independent observers. And of course, I congratulate you, dear colleagues, all who are gathered here, and you represent more than a third of our governors, congratulate you on your success.
The victory won in a competitive, difficult struggle. I note that in some regions it has been particularly acute. Intensity of the struggle contributed to the growth of the political activity of citizens. Naturally, that voter turnout, especially in the election of senior officials of the Federation, exceeded last year’s figure.
What I would like to pay special attention: not important victory as such, interest received, the main thing – a citizens’ confidence in the electoral system and the results of the voting. We strive to ensure that the elections were open, competitive, held in full compliance with the spirit and letter of the law.
And of course, we will continue to create all necessary conditions for the party, politicians with different views could win the right to work in the different levels of government. I note that in the last election, despite the landslide victory of “United Russia”, a good result showed other parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties.
Dear Colleagues, All you have won as part of the direct vote. Broad popular support – it is certainly an honor, but it’s also a great responsibility. Furthermore, let’s say openly and honestly, I want to say this to all those present here and to all who took part in the elections, won, but who today in the Kremlin hall there is all that has happened, has happened in the wake of cohesion of our society, unity of our society in connection with a variety of challenges and threats to Russia. But people from the municipal level of government, from the regional not expect any global solutions they expect from you all the solutions to their practical problems, improve life, working conditions, increase and improve the situation in the housing sector, to restore order in the finances, in improvement of social services, health care, education. And you know, no one has the right to rest on his laurels after the election. On the contrary, we must understand that it is a great trust of citizens and the need to respond to this trust effective work. Confidence you need to justify, not content with past achievements and to fulfill their obligations to achieve new positive developments of the Society of clear, practical results. At the same time say that the demands of citizens and the quality of the power, and the state of the social sphere, and the standard of living in a particular region, the municipality is definitely, these requirements will continue to rise, climb.
Tasks in front of you very serious, and they have to solve in the difficult conditions, without any reference to the circumstances. It is necessary to unite all constructive forces around common goals. In some regions, political parties, the governors have already begun to build teamwork. Of course, this is the only right way. A broad coalition of development should be in each subject.
The importance of the municipal level of government. This is where a person can prove their worth, to buy public, administrative and economic experience. By the way, in many countries with an established party system policies are beginning to quench it at the municipal level. And, indeed, we have the same process occurs.
Each of you has gone through the collection of signatures of municipal deputies, to enlist their support. I think this is an important condition for strengthening the authority of the local government. For serious policy support municipalities – that the pledge of effective cooperation, and a kind of “pass” in the next gubernatorial campaign. I ask you to be in constant dialogue with the local authorities, consolidated work.
In general, the last election campaign showed that both at the regional and local level politics come intelligent professionals who are able to achieve their goals. I am convinced that they should be part of your team. I mean, first of all municipal employees.
I would like to once again congratulate you on your election victory and wish you success in the subsequent practical work ».
After his speech, the President gave the opportunity to speak to several governors. Heads of Siberian regions word was not given.
