Absolutely everyone is against the initiative. Regional authorities talk about a sharp drop in budget revenues (in the Magadan region – by 40% of fishing income, in Sakhalin they promise unemployment and social tension). Those opposed in the Federation Council are Matvienko herself, all industry unions, the LDPR, New People, Right Russia and many others. Except, oddly enough, for the communists.
But lobbyists are pushing the bill with all their might. To formally remove discontent, a conciliation commission of deputies and senators was created. From the State Duma it included the communist Kashin, the head of the agrarian committee, and the deputy chairman of the State Duma from United Russia Gordeev, a former minister of agriculture with huge garters from big business. Their task in the conciliation commission is to agree on everything that customers need. If it works out, the communists were promised a large contribution to the 2024 election campaign. And Gordeev, a well-known political entrepreneur, will improve the family budget, which has become fairly thin. His entire business was closely tied to the state. For example, under the pretext of illness, all the pigs in the Voronezh region were slaughtered, and his son took over the vacant clearing. The same thing happened with the breeding business in Kaluga, which received government subsidies. The obligations under it were not fulfilled, as it turned out, they did not build anything, and selection was simply called the purchase of seed abroad, now it is difficult to do this and the loophole has been closed. The fish story will make it possible to at least pay a pretty penny of taxes for the Gordeev family’s one and a half billion assets.
