President Putin has ruled out the Minister of economic development Maxim Reshetnikov from the working group on strategic development and projects. This was preceded by pretty harsh criticism Minister from the head of the state on the online meeting. Economists are convinced that the demonstrative removal of the relevant Minister almost from the main area of its activities suggests that the Minister responsible for economic development of the country, unable to cope with their responsibilities. Does it follow that taxes are about to be sent into retirement and how this might affect the implementation of the economic measures during a pandemic, we were told by the experts.
Andrei Nechayev, politician, ex-Minister of economy of the Russian Federation: “Exclusion of the Minister of economic development of the profile of the Agency’s Commission is a sign of job dissatisfaction Reshetnikova. Or a “black mark” – the latter a warning indication to work harder and more efficiently, or already no more warnings will not be and soon after this decision followed the resignation of the Minister.
But now is not clear the situation with the government as a whole – taking into account illness of the Prime Minister. Reshetnikova fate will depend on General developments”.
Nikita Maslennikov, head of financial direction at the Institute of contemporary development: “it is Premature to assume that the Minister did not meet expectations. Maxim Reshetnikov is now at the forefront, it needs to be considered. The head of state asked what measures had been taken and whether they reach to the needy. And the primary task of the Minister is to carry out this monitoring, as well as the additional proposals.
Reshetnikov is at the point of attack, and without stopping the pouring of the issues on the implementation of measures to support businesses, industries, enterprises, citizens – and he answers. The process is perhaps a good thing that the Minister has excluded from the working group on national projects because it is overloaded the current important work.”
Igor Nikolaev, Director of the Institute of strategic analysis FBK: Exception “Maxim Reshetnikov should be interpreted as mistrust of its work. The Minister of economic development by virtue of his office shall be present in the group’s strategic development and planning. His exclusion from the working group on national projects looks at least strange.
Usually, if the head of Department unhappy in the first place, he leaves his post. Only then is his consistent exclusion from the various working groups. High officials always has been. With Reshetnikov somehow did the opposite.”
Alex�� Makarkin, a political analyst, Deputy Director of the “Center of political technologies”: “to Speak of insolvency Reshetnikova as Minister yet. Its effectiveness will be clear only after you earn all the support measures, in particular, small and medium business in the period of the pandemic.
the Results of this work will demonstrate — he coped and his Ministry with their responsibilities or not. 6 may at the meeting with officials, the President revealed that not satisfied with the report of Maxim Reshetnikov.
it is Quite possible that the consequence of this discontent was the decision to exclude the Minister from the relevant working group, which can be interpreted as a warning. In the acute phase of the pandemic are unlikely to be taken serious personnel decisions. Maxim Reshetnikov still have time to get positive momentum in subordinate positions and to demonstrate good results in their work to regain the trust of the President.”
