So that’s how it turns out. My proposal to pay 20,000 rubles to every adult right now and 10,000 rubles per child is supposedly populism. ⠀ "Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called Alexei Navalny’s anti-crisis plan to support businesses and the public, ‘Five Steps for Russia,’ populist, superficial, and not fully competent." ⠀ So using the reserve fund, built up from citizens’ taxes, to help those same citizens in a difficult moment is superficial and incompetent. ⠀ But when we found that Peskov owns a wristwatch worth 37 million rubles, that’s normal? ⠀ And when Peskov and Navka (Tatiana Navka, former Olympic ice dancer) were caught vacationing on a sailing yacht that costs 26 million rubles a week to rent—that’s not populism? ⠀ And when we published documents for this official’s house, worth 1 billion rubles, Peskov sees no problem with that either. ⠀ But the moment it comes to giving ordinary people, sitting there in despair without money, help for once in their lives, suddenly it’s terrible populism. Outrageous. ⠀ Listen, sign it right now just to spite this slick crook. https://5steps.vote/ ⠀ They really do believe that the country’s reserves are not for the people, but for paying for yachts, watches, and private jets for officials and their families. ⠀ And it’s important to show that on this issue, the whole country stands against them.
