Russia will be holding
presidential elections this week. They will last three days – from 15 to 17
March. Ilsur Metshin, Mayor of Kazan, encouraged the citizens to show their
civic position and come to the polling stations.
“An extremely
important week is beginning. Presidential elections will be held from Friday to
Sunday, which will regulate the next six years. We all have to make our choice:
which future do we want for our country? The voting will for the first time take
place in such a challenging foreign policy situation. But this is an internal affair
for the residents of the country,” Ilsur Metshin said today at the business
Monday meeting.
“We, members of
the United Russia party, support the candidacy of the current president
Vladimir Putin, as we see him as a guarantor of stability and sustainable
development of the country. The President summarised his programme goals and
objectives comprehensively in his message. He pointed out independence in external
policy and the social course of domestic policy aimed at enhancing the quality
of life of people of all ages, supporting the youth and older citizens,
strengthening high-tech manufacture, and developing infrastructure,” the mayor noted.
