Narva endine linnapea Aleksei Jevgrafov teatas, et koostab oma nimekirja sügisel toimuvatel kohalikel valimistel osalemiseks. Poliitik sai ettepanekuid ka linna võimuerakondadelt, kuid ei võtnud neist ühtegi vastu, kirjutab Rus.Postimees.
Kuigi Narva endise linnapea Aleksei Jevgrafovi sõnul pakkus Keskerakond talle võimalust olla nende linnapeakandidaat Narva-Jõesuus, otsustas mees minna eelseisvatel kohalikel valimistel välja Narvas oma nimekirjaga.
The Conservative People s Party of Estonia (EKRE) is planning to put out their own list of candidates in the northeastern city of Narva in local government elections in October, party deputy chairman Mart Helme said.
Helme spoke to journalists in Ida-Viru County on Wednesday and admitted that Narva was previously a weakness of EKRE, calling the city a completely blank spot .
The former interior minister said the situation stemmed from the party just not having enough resources to act in Ida-Viru, as they focused on regions where support was already strong.
Now, EKRE is planning to strenthen its presence in northeastern Estonia, Helme said. The controversial politician said the party is planning to take its own list of candidates to many Ida-Viru local municipality governments, including Narva. Speaking on who can contribute to EKRE s actions in Ida-Viru County, Helme said they could be locals who have not yet participated in politics.
With discussions regarding the €100 million budget for the city of Narva just now beginning in city government, the largest challenges and goals are estimated to come in the field of education.
Narva s new city government coalition is planning on approving the city budget by the end of February. The investment plan drawn up by the city s previous government, which led to the ousting of then-mayor Aleksei Jevgrafov, will be looked at critically.
Mayor of Narva Katri Raik (SDE) said the budget s peculiarities come from there not being much room to make major distributions. For example, any changes in the social field must take into account that a third of Narva s population is older than 60 and there are 8,000 people with disabilities in the city.
The city council of Narva, the easternmost city in Estonia, approved the government chosen by recently elected mayor Katri Raik (SDE) and established Sergei Golratš (Reform) as deputy mayor.
ETV s daily affairs show Aktuaalne kaamera reported on Monday that the remaining three members of city government will remain in office from its last composition.
Deputy mayor Golratš will handle the city s economic questions, a position the city did not have for a year and a half as the previous mayor (Aleksei Jevgrafov) handled city economy questions.
The 42-year old entrepreneur s task is to coordinate the work of positions responsible for city development and to finish the many extensive infrastructure projects in the city that are unfinished.
