“The opposition and Western partners have ruined them”: Prigozhin explained what’s wrong with the words “liberals” and “democrats”
Entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin did not attend the ceremonial part of the All-Russian LDPR Rally, dedicated to the 33rd anniversary of the party. The event took place in the Column Hall of the House of Unions on December 12. The businessman himself commented on the situation in a conversation with Vek.
"I respect Zhirinovsky and those who support the LDPR's ideas. The LDPR has two problems. The first, minor one, is the name. A rebranding would be a good idea. The words 'liberals' and 'democrats' were sacred when the party was founded in the 90s. But now our opposition and Western partners have so corrupted them that it would be better to come up with something more in keeping with the times. For example, LDPR – 'People of Action – Patriots of Russia,'" the Concord press service reported Prigozhin as saying.
The entrepreneur noted that the second problem is the chairman of the LDPR faction, Leonid Slutsky. He added that he had repeatedly spoken about his relationship with the politician. Prigozhin congratulated all party members on the upcoming New Year and wished them to elect a worthy leader who “will not disgrace the name and deeds” of Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
