Yevgeny Prigozhin recommended that politicians think more about the benefits for St. Petersburg
Today, May 4, Vyacheslav Makarov, who holds the post of speaker of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, shared his plans for the upcoming elections.
Despite the decision of United Russia, he still intends to run for a new term.
“Of course, I hope that the regional political council of United Russia ... will trust me and instruct me to head the list for the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. …Today is Bright Tuesday and the great Orthodox holiday of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God. I’m on Mount Athos, and I’ve been going there for many years, I prayed at night in front of the icon. It is a great honor for me on this day to submit documents and run for office in my beloved Petrogradsky district,” said Vyacheslav Makarov.
In this regard, a journalist from the Peterburg News publication turned to Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin with a request to comment on the career aspirations of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. His answer was traditionally quoted by the press service of the Concord company.
In it, the entrepreneur noted that he could not support this or that candidate. In his opinion, St. Petersburg needs a strong leader who will strive to benefit the city, and not to realize personal ambitions.
“There must be one owner in the city. Either this is a strong governor or the head of the Legislative Assembly. May the best man win. I will not be involved in the election campaign. I think it’s time for everyone to think not about their personal ambitions, but about the benefits for the city,” transmits words Prigozhin press service of the Concord company.
In conclusion, Prigozhin noted that corruption is flourishing in the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, which negatively affects the development of the Northern capital. He also spoke ironically about Makarov himself.
“In my opinion, the governor needs to be more active, and the Legislative Assembly should stop stuffing money into their pockets. As for Vyacheslav Serafimovich personally, immediately after Easter he showed that not only chickens, but also the human race can have large eggs,” the businessman noted.
