Protest against pension reform. Zyuganov: the danger of a new split
In the center of the Russian capital, the most recent rally against the proposed pension reform by the government is taking place. Recall that on the eve of the CEC of the Russian Federation announced that it would not support the idea of the Communist Party to hold a referendum on the "pension" issue. According to Ella Pamfilova, the question is not properly formulated, and she is ready to help her reformulate.
The Communist Party responded by participating in a mass march against raising the retirement age. On the eve, the head of the party Gennady Zyuganov spoke about the current situation:

Zyuganov calls the main ideologists of the pension reform:
According to Zyuganov, strangeness reveals itself: the majority in the Duma favors raising the standard of living (including pensioners), fighting corruption, but at the same time, the pro-government Duma majority did not want to ratify the 20 st. United Nations Convention against Corruption.
According to the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, this situation leads the country to a split.
One of the actions against raising the retirement age holds Sergei Udaltsov, who said that his procession gathered about 50 thousands of people.
From the statement of Udaltsov:
The organizers of the march called for making conclusions before deciding who to vote for at the regional and municipal elections in September of this year.
The Communist Party responded by participating in a mass march against raising the retirement age. On the eve, the head of the party Gennady Zyuganov spoke about the current situation:
The main contradiction today is the difference between foreign patriotic and internal liberal policies, which continue to ruin our economy. The main danger is the growing split in society, which is also transferred to the regions. 20 richest regions have revenues 7 times more than 20 poorest. What is wrong with the Pskov region, in which the salary is on average 70% less than in the Leningrad region?

Zyuganov calls the main ideologists of the pension reform:
I remind you, with the approval of Prime Minister DA Medvedev, the Communist Party faction did not vote for him. We have proposed an increase in budget for 10 trillions. It seems that everyone agreed, but they do nothing. We suggested not to approve Kudrin. Even from the pro-government majority of the State Duma, 100 people declined to vote for his candidacy, and they did the right thing! Today, Kudrin, Siluanov, Oreshkin, Nazarov determine the economic policy of the government. By the way, Nazarov is the main author of this cannibalistic pension reform. It is included in various structures under the government. This is a man who was trained in Canada, where he trained. Then he went to England, and today we determine the financial and economic strategy.

From the statement of Udaltsov:
Now the action on Sakharov Avenue is ending, the police are behaving politely, there are no detainees. New protests will be held soon.
The organizers of the march called for making conclusions before deciding who to vote for at the regional and municipal elections in September of this year.
