Former Siberian is going to run for mayor of New York
Former Siberian Vitaly Filipchenko, who has lived in the United States for more than 10 years, is married to an American and runs his own trucking business, is about to compete for the post of mayor of New York this summer.
The businessman intends to act as an independent candidate and, in case of victory, to show how to correctly spend the city budget. Vitaly also intends to dispel stereotypes about migrants, who, allegedly for happiness, need only surround themselves with elements of luxury and wealth. He is ready to be the first to prove the opposite.
“I have a cargo transportation company, that is, we are constantly on the roads, we constantly see problems. I saw that the New York budget is being used very illiterately. For example, asphalt lays down, new asphalt takes 15 years on average, ten years minimum. In New York, I noticed that they just take it and after two or three years put a new one. This is called, in plain text, theft from the budget. That is, some corporations are interested. Why spend that kind of money, “Filipchenko said about the political plans of RIA Novosti.
Primary mayoral elections are scheduled for June 22, general elections will be held on November 2. The current mayor of New York is Democratic Party representative Bill De Blasio.
Here the doctor will not come to the house: the emigrants dream of returning to Russia. They envy those who ended up in Russia during the coronavirus pandemic, and fondly recall the Soviet health care system.
