Pamfilova called Grudinin’s promise to sue her “pre-election chatter”

The head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, called the threat of the director of the Lenin State Farm Pavel Grudinin to sue her over the words about “dirty offshore” as “pre-election chatter”. About this she stated on the air of the radio station “Echo of Moscow”.

According to her, Grudinin will not reach the court and the ECHR, and he makes such statements while the election campaign is underway. “I regard his reaction as pre-election chatter. While the campaign is going on, they will exaggerate this topic. We already went through this in 2018, then we also threatened to file a lawsuit against the CEC. Three years have passed, and where is this lawsuit? ”Pamfilova said.

The head of the CEC noted that she did not give up her words about Grudinin as a candidate for the State Duma. She is also ready to act as a defendant in court if he accepts the politician’s statement. “I will be infinitely happy about this, I’m even ready to spend my personal time to go to court in order to debunk this collective farmer-capitalist,” Pamfilova said.

At the end of July, the Central Election Commission excluded Grudinin from the federal list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for the elections to the State Duma. The reason was information from the Prosecutor General’s Office and the ex-wife of a businessman and politician Irina that he has foreign assets. The woman said that the politician is hiding that she owns shares in the Belize offshore Bontro LTD.

Pamfilova after that advised Grudinin to sort out his foreign accounts. She was surprised, “how can a party that defends the interests of the working people, defend the interests of a person who for many years has taken billions of labor rubles and money earned by other people to dirty offshores.” Tuesday, August 31, politician statedthat the head of the Central Election Commission “went beyond reason” and promised to sue her.
