Communists to vote against Fradkov`s appointment as PM
MOSCOW. May 11 (Interfax) - The Communist group in the State Duma will vote against Mikhail Fradkov's
appointment as prime minister on Wednesday, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said on Tuesday after Communist deputies
met with Fradkov, who is currently the acting prime minister.
"The current government remains on a course running against the interests of the people and fails to solve acute
social problems," Zyuganov told reporters.
Earlier, deputies representing the nationalist Rodina party also decided to vote against Fradkov, who was appointed
prime minister by President Vladimir Putin. [RU EUROPE EEU EMRG POL PRO] as tj <>
