Press Release, 25.12.2020
Sanal Molotkov, a member of the Yabloko branch in Kalmykia, held a single picket [such pickets do not need any permissions from the authorities] against unjustified provision of tax benefits by the regional authorities to the Fortum and Rosnano companies. The action took place in front of the building of the government of the Republic of Kalmykia.
The activists of the regional branch of the party note that the deputies of the Kalmykian parliament, on the order of the head of the republic Batu Khasikov, are going to provide tax benefits in the amount of 1.5 billion roubles in the interests of the Wind Energy Development Fund (a joint investment fund of the energy company Fortum and the Rosnano company). Two wind power plants were put into operation on the territory of the Tselinny district of the Republic of Kalmykia with the participation of this Fund the fall of 2020, the total capacity of the power plants is 200 MW.
“This is done with a delay and outside the framework of investment agreements. Given the minimal tax revenues to the budget of the Republic of Kalmykia, the provision of tax benifits is completely unjustified,” the activists of the Kalmyk branch of Yabloko say.
