No personnel decisions were made at the LDP faction meeting in the Duma on Monday, March 16. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Information Policy Andrei Svintsov.
“There were no decisions,” Svintsov said.
This is how he answered the journalist’s question about whether any personal decisions were made at the LDP faction meeting. In turn, the Deputy Head of the Central Organ of the Liberal Democratic Party, Eleonora Kavchar, said that the party leader, Leonid Slutsky, has set a date for a meeting of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Liberal Democratic Party, on Wednesday, March 18. TASS.
Earlier, the media reported that Andrei Svintsov could be expelled from the Liberal Democratic Party due to his public comments on the possible ban of the Telegram messenger – party head Leonid Slutsky allegedly made repeated comments to the parliamentarian, asking him to stop making statements on this topic. Journalists noted that the situation around the possible expulsion of Svintsov seems complicated, because he is the owner of LDPR TV, and also received the position of vice-president, which previously belonged to party founder Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
