Kalmyk liberals are looking for new ways to attract voters to their side. A week before the elections to the People’s Hural (Parliament) of Kalmykia activists republican branch of the “right things” (PD) started a project code-named “Live – a communication channel.” The initiative has caused alarm among right-wing Kalmyk officials, although experts believe that the new draft party is unlikely to radically change the electoral prospects of the party.
The author of the project “Live – link” became known in Elista political expert, head of the republic of Kalmykia branch of the “right things” Sanal Lidzheev. “We bought in the last week before the election airtime in local inserts two federal television channels broadcasting to the entire territory of Kalmykia. And now every day for five minutes of qualifying live specific requests, wishes and demands of the residents of Elista and rural areas of th e country to local and regional officials, “- said,” NG “Sanal Lidzheev. A fairly simple format teledialogue coined right, proved popular. “People do not have the capacity to reach out to the officials, to give them their requests. Therefore, the opportunity to voice their wishes authorities was very marketable. It is also important that these demands voiced by mediators from the representatives of the “right things”, as many people are afraid of retaliation by the officials, “- said Lidzheev.
To collect calls to the Kalmyk authorities PD opened in Elista two platforms – locally and in the city center, a few meters from the residence of the head of the republic and the parliament.
Activists say the “right things”, every social and age-sex group in Kalmykia now has a claim to the republican authorities: “The male part of the population of Elista, for example, requires the creation of the Kalmyk footba ll club. Youth – the creation of jobs in the country that do not have to leave for work in Moscow, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don and other cities. Young mothers are asked to create at last in Elista large children’s entertainment and a playground with roundabouts and cafes that do not have because of this drive for 300 kilometers to Volgograd. Large families are asked to review the practice of republican government allocation of land and grant them closer to Elista, rather than 100 kilometers from the city. ” All these requirements will be announced on live local television.
“Using the format of communication with voters as the” people’s mediators to the authorities, “the leaders of the” right things “began to stand out from the rest of the political parties involved in the fight for the seat members of the People’s Khural. While other parties praise themselves and criticize the authorities themselves openly fightin g for power, the right to use the format of “talking about the aspirations of the people the words of the people.” It certainly caught them special attention of voters that can be considered very successful in terms of Kalmyk political technology “- said political analyst Svetlana Kolosov.
Kalmyk officials responded to the unusual initiative of the Republic of the steppe “cause” under the control of the publications in the media, where informed readers of the “paltry ratings” right-wing, dubbed their “dying party.” “However, the fact that we saw in this election whirlwind, says that right early to discard” – says Lidzheev.
“It is unlikely that the right will be able for the remaining time before the day of voting to reverse the situation, even with new voters for the election of the Kalmyk moves”, – said political analyst Pavel Hunger. However, he said, the political technolog ies “cause” can be used by other, more rating opposition parties after the end of the election campaign.
