Ivan Urgant compared to migrants the State Duma deputies who did not have enough rooms
TV presenter Ivan Urgant during recording of his channel ”Ridiculed the State Duma deputies who did not have enough offices. An excerpt from the episode is available on YouTube. Urgant joked that such people's deputies can be compared to migrants, and the very increase in the number of deputies has a bad effect on the development of democracy in the country.
“In the State Duma, due to the increase in the number of employees, two dozen deputies do not have permanent offices. The so-called migrant deputies who came to the State Duma in search of a better life, but they were not given offices. It turns out that after the elections, a fifth faction appeared in the State Duma and there were no offices left. What does this mean? Democracy interferes with the normal functioning of the State Duma, “the TV presenter said.
Urgant also suggested solutions to the problem to individual deputies. For example, he offered to the singer Denis Maidanov to receive voters in a guitar case, having previously cleared the place of money. And the creator of TV programs about wildlife, Timofey Bazhenov, Urgant recommended to put on spruce and spruce trees right in the corridor of the State Duma and work calmly. “You just need to light a fire to drive away the vile,” the host of “Evening Urgant” ironically advised.
“For example, Anatoly Wasserman. Well, does he need an office? He doesn't need an office. He has everything he needs in his vest, including a chair, an armchair and a portrait of the president, “added Urgant.
Meanwhile, Communist Party deputy Mikhail Matveyev entered the office allocated to him in the State Duma building and complained about his complete unpreparedness. According to Matveev, the room is completely empty – there is no furniture or equipment in it. The footage he shared online shows only bare walls, floors, and louvered windows.
