Meeting organized by Maykop mayoralty went out of control
21.12.2005
On the main square of Maykop on December, 21st a meeting in protection of the head of the town administration Nikolay Pivovarov passed, IА REGNUM correspondent informed. Also it is necessary to note at once, the all-out support to the mayor among the gathered was not seen. Among the meeting’s participants – and they were nearby 600 people – not less than a half was those who were for his removal from the mayor’s post and for institution against him criminal proceeding.
At the meeting a reference of the head of the town to inhabitants and the public, the information on results of social and economic development of Maykop, the meeting’s resolution were read or widespread. In them it was spoken about achievements of the present town administration. The main reason in it was reduced to that Pivovarov received the town with 450 million rubles debt and for today he practically paid it off.
The majority of the orators, recognizing Pivovarov’s mistakes, called up the gathered to give the town administration a chance to correct their activities. But there were also those who tried “to hold up to shame” those who on the wave of the forthcoming elections to the republican parliament, “organize pickets, destabilize interethnic conditions, provoke social explosion”. Such orators were met with whistling and requirement to take off their right to speak.
At the meeting they also widespread printed materials of the town opposition – in particular, the newspaper “Business Adygeya” in which the work of Maykop administration during the same period was exposed to rigid criticism. The deputy of the republic parliament and the owner of the named newspaper Aslan Bezrukov was not given a word. More precisely, his name was declared; however, when he came up to the microphone, one of militia men disconnected the microphone and did not let him speak.
The quantity of the oppositional meeting’s participants was defined right after the announcement about the action’s ending. A part of the gathered obeying the command left the square at once; the other part, having surrounded the rebellious deputy, remained on the square quite long.
The deputy told that the claims to the town authority remained the same: the Arbitration court of Adygeya defined the sum of the no-purpose expenditure of financial means – it was about 38 million rubles. That was, in his opinion, nothing else but an attempt “of money laundering”. Now the money was hastily searched. But in any case on such fact the Criminal Code of Russian Federation provides punishment in the form of imprisonment till 5 years long. In addition to that, the mayoralty should show the other sum – approximately 100 million rubles. And the case is in the task of the competent bodies which for about two months did not react to the deputy’s inquiry.
As to the charges in his address in occasion of using the protest actions for getting of the parliamentary mandate Bezrukov named such statements, at least, insolvent. During the last elections he did not need for that purpose neither meetings no any help from the political parties of Adygeya – he won by himself. And to the problems of housing and communal services in the town he appeared to be engaged in their resolution under insisting of the voters in May of this year.
