Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Region Vyacheslav Wegner expelled from the Communist Party. The decision was made at today's meeting of the bureau of the Chkalovsky District Party Committee. For this decision, three people voted, against - one.

"What can I say: I have not lost anything, have the CPRF lost - time will tell," the regional parliamentarian wrote on his social networks page.

In October 2017, the Plenum of the Sverdlovsk Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation initiated a personal case against Wegner. The reasons for such a decision of the party members were several.

One of them is non-payment of the party maximum (a fixed amount calculated from the deputy salary, which is given to the cashier of the party,. ed).

In addition, during the election of the governor, the communist posted on his page in social networks a ballot box opposite the candidate's name from "United Russia" Evgeny Kuyvashev, and not the party member Alexei Parfyonov. Later the post was removed. Also, the deputy does not share the position of party members in building an antimony plant in Asbestos. Against him, local communists actively spoke and continue to speak out.
