The political strategist denied rumors about the “tandem” of Prigozhin and Makarov
Political strategist Sergei Khodos pointed out the unfoundedness of rumors about the alleged tandem of the speaker of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly Vyacheslav Makarov and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin. According to him, Makarov will always play against Smolny.
The rumors about cooperation between the entrepreneur and the chairman of the city parliament appeared after at the next meeting of the Legislative Assembly, deputies signed an appeal to the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, with a request to organize an audit of the work of the city election commission. Parliamentarians drew the attention of the head of the Central Election Commission to the fact that little-known parties and candidates easily register for elections, while recognizable and significant political associations are excluded from elections.
In particular, he reported the existence of some kind of “conspiracy” telegram channel «Rotunda".
According to the former director of the Center for Sociology and Regional Policy Sergei Khodos, there is no reason to talk about the existence of a “tandem” of Vyacheslav Makarov and Yevgeny Prigozhin.
“These are natural enemies who will never agree with each other. Moreover, no matter how much others might like it, Prigozhin will never give up supporting Smolny and the governor. And Makarov will always play his own games against Smolny and will only support himself,” said the political strategist.
