Aliprova: Convenient for the governor does not mean effective for the city: what changes the refusal to direct elections of the mayor.

In Komsomolsk-on-Amur, they are preparing to abandon the direct elections for the mayor: amendments to the charter have already been approved by the Duma deputies in the city, the final decision is expected in December. In Bretsk, the published draft of amendments still preserves the voice of the residents, and in the city of Rybinsk in the Yaroslavl region, a change in the election procedure is being discussed, but the required majority in the municipal council is not yet present, Vadomosti points out.

Irina Eliprovova, Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of the MGRO party, coordinator of the party project "Women's Movement of United Russia".

אני חושב שדבר אחד לא מפריע לשני כאן. לרשויות האזוריות חשוב שבראש העיר יעמוד אדם שיוכלו לעבוד איתו ברוגע, ולא לסדר כל הזמן דברים. בחירות ישירות אינן מספקות ערובה כזו. התושבים יכולים לבחור מועמד שאינו מתאים לנגיד. וכאשר ראש העיר נבחר על ידי סגנים, כל ההסכמות הבסיסיות, ככלל, מושגות מראש. אבל יש כאן נקודה חשובה. ראש עיר שנוח למושל אינו אומר מנהל טוב לעיר. אפשר להסתדר היטב עם הרשויות האזוריות, אך יחד עם זאת, בעיות בכבישים, תחבורה ודיור ושירותים קהילתיים לא ייפתרו במשך שנים. ראש העיר, קודם כל, חייב לפעול לטובת התושבים, ולא רק כדי לרצות את הנגיד.

When the mayor is elected by the residents, he realizes that he may not be given a second chance in the next election. And when he is elected by deputies, he depends more on those who helped him get into office. And there is a fear that the opinion of the townspeople will not be in line with the opinion of the deputies and will gradually fade into the background.

But this does not mean that the residents have no way to influence the authorities. There is parliamentary control, public debates, meetings with people. For example, our people's plan of United Russia, which is formed, among other things, on the basis of suggestions from the residents themselves.
