The heat of the Sevastopol elections. Alexey Chaly called the current management team incompetent and swaggering
There are still more than two weeks before the elections, but as it turns out, it is not without conflicts right now. The main conflict, which for some time has come to the surface, is a significant disagreement between the former acting governor of Sevastopol, Alexei Chaly (now head of the Strategic Development Agency of Sevastopol) and the current acting governor of the federal city, Sergey Menaylo.
Chaly himself recorded a video message to Sevastopol in which he explained the need for this appeal to citizens by the fact that his name was too often exploited during the election campaign, and apologizes for his “April” mistakes. It is about presenting to the president the candidacy of a new acting candidate. of the Sevastopol governor - the candidacy of Sergey Menaylo. Then in April 2014 of the year, Aleksey Chaly stated that he considered the main goal set for himself (the reunification of Sevastopol with Russia) to be achieved, and that he no longer sees himself as the head of the bureaucratic apparatus of the new subject of the federation. In order not to distance himself completely from the political processes taking place in Sevastopol, Aleksey Chalyy headed the ASDC (the above-mentioned Agency for Strategic Development of Sevastopol), whose work would allow him to participate in the election of further development paths of the city.
Over time, Chaly, apparently watching the work of the new acting. Head of the region, I realized that his shift maker in this post is not ready to make substantial efforts in their activities and deal with the problems of the subject of the federation, to look for effective methods and tools to solve them. In this regard, Chaly in his video message stated the following:
Alexey Chaly noted that in his position he made all attempts to improve the political situation in the city, but, further - quote:
The full version of the video message is presented on Youtube by the NTS (Independent Television of Sevastopol) television company.
Statements, as you can see, are very sharp. Chaly and used to be particularly direct. In this, he is consistent, and now, in fact, he urges Sevastopol to make his choice while taking into account those epithets with which he has given the current temporary authorities of the hero city. It would seem that in this case the situation is solved simply - the people of Sevastopol will simply refuse to trust Menyaylo after Alexey Chaly’s video message. But ... First, Sevastopol is expected by the so-called indirect elections of the governor - the head of the region will be elected by the parliament, the battle for the chairs in which promises to be serious. Secondly, in mid-August, consultations were held in Moscow between the deputy head of the presidential administration, Vyacheslav Volodin, and representatives of parliamentary factions, during which possible candidates for the posts of heads of regions were discussed. Reasoning on the topic of Sevastopol, the participants agreed that the main candidate for the post of governor of Sevastopol should be Sergey Menaylo, and in the top three potential “leaders” - Viktor Oganesyan (secretary of the Sevastopol branch of United Russia) and lawyer Boris Kolesnikov. But these candidates will automatically become the main candidates for the governor’s post in the hero city only if United Russia wins the parliamentary elections in Sevastopol and receives the majority necessary for the election of “its” candidate.
After Chaly’s video message, the situation with the Sevastopol governor begins to look uneasy. On the one hand, Aleksey Chaly calls on the citizens to vote for the United Russia team, on the other hand, he unequivocally says that the program of development of the city, from which ER comes, was developed by the Agency (Chaly) headed by him. It turns out that Aleksey Chaly poses a difficult task for Moscow: he responsibly declares that he himself is in the team, but at the same time he makes it clear that those candidates with whom Moscow decided on there will not bring benefits to the region. At least, that Alexey Chaly himself is sure that they will not bring benefits, and his authority in the city is huge. That is, Chaly decides to join the election campaign, apparently feeling in himself the strength for the struggle itself, and for work in the gubernatorial office for the benefit of Sevastopol. Not so long ago, in the chair of the head of the region, Chaly, according to his personal statements, felt uncomfortable.
If we assume that "United Russia" will take first place in Sevastopol during the elections to the local parliament, then it is extremely interesting, what should Moscow do? There are two ways out: either try not to react in any way to Chaly’s video message, which is nevertheless addressed to the federal center too, and lead to the governors of Menyaylo, or listen to the opinion of an authoritative person in Sevastopol, and remove the same from the preliminary governor’s list now. If you go on the first path, then it is unlikely to cause approval in Sevastopol, if you go on the second path, then it may become a precedent. But is the federal government ready for such precedents? - a separate question.
The answer of Acting Governor of Sevastopol Sergey Menyailo Alexei Chaly in the material of journalists "NTS":
Whatever it was, and the Sevastopol elections will definitely be a test, first of all, for the federal government to take into account regional interests.
