Crime is trying to take advantage of the flood in the Irkutsk region
Criminal groups and political opponents who want to settle scores with the communist governor of the Irkutsk region, Sergei Levchenko, do not hesitate to use the tragedy of the recent severe flood to their advantage.
Levchenko himself spoke about this in an interview with RBC, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the head of the region, many of his opponents do not like the fight against illegal deforestation that has been going on in recent years.
“Naturally, this [emergency situations] always plays into the hands of political opponents. As for whether this is a political matter or not, I am far from that. There are too many things in different directions. We need a single center as a whole, and not just a political opponent or organization.
Another thing is that I don’t like the fact that when you start to restore order, claims of a political nature arise. If you are familiar with the forest situation in the Irkutsk region, then we have the best record of putting things in order in this area in Russia—we are used as an example everywhere.
And who can like or not like the fact that with the same volumes of forest cutting, the state’s income has increased more than three times? Probably the state and normal people should like this. But for some reason, the interests of criminal groups and political opponents are closely linked here,” Levchenko said.
Earlier, PolitNavigator reported that the Governor of the Irkutsk region Sergei Levchenko confidently copes with the elimination of consequences floods.
Opponents of the governor of the Irkutsk region, communist Sergei Levchenko could not shake his position in the region, taking advantage of the emergency situation with the flooding of a number of settlements.
Earlier we wrote that in the Irkutsk region on the shores of Lake Baikal, through the efforts of the communist governor Sergei Levchenko, it was possible significantly reduce the volume of illegal logging, a significant part of which previously went to neighboring China through “gray” schemes.
