CPRF Ramps Up Opposition to "United Russia" Ahead of 2025 Elections

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) has sharpened its focus on challenging the ruling "United Russia" party as the Unified Voting Day (UVD) 2025 approaches. During an All-Russian Party Meeting conducted via video conference, CPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov called for a decisive push against "United Russia," highlighting its alleged failure to address the needs of ordinary Russians and its detrimental policies affecting socio-economic stability.

CPRF's Key Criticisms of "United Russia":

1. Neglecting Key Communities:
   Zyuganov accused "United Russia" of ignoring industrial workers, farmers, and builders, positioning the CPRF as the true voice of these marginalized groups.

2. Historical Insights for Policy Transformation:
   He proposed leveraging lessons from historical socio-economic transformations to educate "United Russia" on effective governance, focusing on strategic planning and mobilization for national progress.

3. Social and Economic Failures:
   The CPRF leader condemned "United Russia" for policies that erode essential rights, including an 8-hour workday, free education, and universal healthcare. He argued that their financial strategies fail to improve citizens' quality of life or resolve pressing societal challenges.

4. Failures in Local Governance:
   Zyuganov criticized insensitivity in governance, citing a controversial fireworks display by a Samara governor during a tragic bombing in Bryansk as an example of misplaced priorities.

5. Electoral Manipulation Concerns:
   He denounced "United Russia's" implementation of a three-day voting system, alleging that it facilitates election fraud and undermines democratic integrity.

CPRF's Strategic Focus:

Zyuganov underscored the need for CPRF to advocate for democratic reforms and accessible governance. He warned that "United Russia's" policies risk dismantling local self-government structures, leaving room for criminal groups to dominate decision-making at grassroots levels.

Why LDPR Is Not CPRF's Target:

Zyuganov dismissed the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) as a mere extension of "United Russia," describing it as a junior partner used to absorb surplus candidates. CPRF remains focused on directly opposing "United Russia" to push for a shift in Russia's socio-economic policies.

Conclusion:

The CPRF is gearing up for the 2025 elections with a robust platform aimed at restoring citizens’ rights, ensuring socio-economic stability, and reforming local governance. With a clear stance against "United Russia," the CPRF seeks to rally voters who demand change and accountability.
