The expert gave two reasons why Zyuganov does not want to give the party Grudinina
Gennady Zyuganov begins to distance itself from Pavel Grudinina, knowing that the failure of the candidate from the Communist party may have an impact on the leader of the Communist party — said the newspaper VIEW, political analyst Nikita Isaev. The nomination Grudinina was designed to avoid intra-party conflicts, but only led to more nervousness.
Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov, speaking yesterday at a press conference said that presidential candidate from the Communist party Pavel Grudinin is not entitled to lead the party because he is non-partisan. Thus, Zyuganov “will not give” the Communist party Grudinina.
The Communist leader also answered the question of why a candidate was not selected the Deputy from the Communist party Valery Rashkin, despite the fact that he has more political experience and recognition in the media, Zyuganov said: “it was Very important to nominate a man who knows how to start the production.”
As political scientists point out, you should consider going to the party environment talk about a conflict between Zyuganov and Rashkin. Anyway, the nomination of party candidates — Grudinina (not Rashkin, Deputy Chairman of the Communist Yuri Afonin, or another Deputy Chairman Dmitry Novikov) has sparked new speculation about the split, threatening the Communist party.
In the close to the Communist party circles discussed the option, according to which Zyuganov wanted to give the party Grudinina, because of competition between Afonina and Rashkin.
“Grudinin thus, rises above the fray between the clans existing in the Communist party. The nomination Rashkin extremely would strengthen his position, would succeed him. But he has too many conflicts within the party,” said the political scientist, Director of the Institute of contemporary Economics Nikita Isaev.
However, Zyuganov says he will not give the party Grudinina. According to Isayev, it may have two reasons. “First: the fact that many of the elite of the Communist party dissatisfied with the nomination of Grudinina — “fresh blood” that can unite the electorate broader than the electorate of the Communist party, emphasizes Isaev. The second reason may lie in the fact that Zyuganov understands Grudinina, on the contrary, can switch the members of the leadership of the Communist party, and Zyuganov to calculate a “lame duck”, given the age of the leader of the Communist party”.
Realizing that Zyuganov did not participate in the elections, and so ends his political life, in the choice of the new head of the Communist party candidate, obviously, becomes Grudinin — indicates Isaev.
But, according to the expert, “Grudinin has shown itself quite weak on the last one and a half months of work.”
“His populist zeal that was within the last 2-3 years as a public figure, the businessman on the Federal channels crashed. He crashed down on the lack of political experience, no real economic program, a complete misunderstanding of the international situation, which is fundamentally important for Russia at the moment,” — said the analyst.
There is a rejection of the candidacy Grudinina part of the Communist electorate, which contributed to a fairly weak explanation for offshore and other scandals with the accounts. “It affects the attitude of society, — says Nikita Isaev. — There is a tendency to reduce the credibility, and reduce its rating, which is already affecting the Communist party. In a certain way Zyuganov begins to separate from it, knowing that it is a failure not him, but personally Grudinina”.
The atmosphere within the party nervous, stressed Isaev. “And the young Communists, and experienced trying to play their game. This can create a rift in the Communist party, which may lose the social-democratic electorate in the new political cycle, where there will be great reformatting”, — the expert specifies.
