Penza, 29 July 2016. PenzaNews. The first secretary of the Penza CPRF city committee and soon-to-be State Duma election candidate Dmitry Filyaev invited his political opponent at the election district No. 147 Leonid Levin – chairman of the State Duma committee on information policy, information technologies and communications, deputy for “A Just Russia” party faction, expert of the APF Headquarters – to participate in a public debate.

“An open and honest public debate with all candidates interested in popularizing themselves and their programs is one of the tools used to increase voter turnout and attract public attention,” Dmitry Filyaev said at the roundtable discussion on election violation prevention held on Friday, July 29.

The talks to begin the debate are already in process, he clarified.

“Just the other day, I spoke to one of the candidates – farmer Vasily Melnichenko – in the election district No. 147, where both him and I – from CPRF – will be competing as single-mandate candidates. He agreed to take part in the public debate. I invite Leonid Levin, the candidate for ‘A Just Russia,’ to do the same. I think he needs to give at least some kind of an explanation on how he got into the Penza region, how he is related to it and what he did for our region,” Dmitry Filyaev noted.

He also explained that he finds it unacceptable when unknown candidates arrive to the region without any real intentions to socialize and familiarize themselves with regular voters, says the CPRF press service.
