In 2021, the Federal Ethics Commission reviewed about 30 incidents related to United Russia members. In half of the cases, these persons were expelled from the party, Andrey Turchak, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, said in an interview with Izvestia.
“At the end of 2021, our colleague, the head of the municipality, took the liberty of arranging a celebration on the days when mourning was declared for the dead miners. This is beyond human principles, morality, understanding of the situation. Naturally, he was expelled from the party. And this is a federal-level incident, ”the politician gave an example.
Andrei Turchak stressed that there is no talk of cleaning the ranks, “there is no” plan for the shaft “. However, United Russia is the largest political party with the most extensive network of regional local branches, so “in such a large family, there may be some incidents with our fellow party members,” the party leader noted.
An ethics commission was set up within the party a few years ago to deal with such incidents. They deal with both the federal and regional levels.
“There is a demand for justice. This request is in society, this request is in people, this request is in our hands, inside the party,” Andriy Turchak concluded.
