Chapter 675: Chapter 675 Public Execution_1

"What do you mean? Why did the Duma bypass the Ministry of Internal Affairs and directly call us from the City Bureau to attend a consultation meeting?"

Upon receiving the notice from the Duma, the director was utterly confused.

He had never experienced something like this before and was unsure if such a consultation meeting was even following the proper procedure.

The other deputy directors also had no idea and couldn’t offer any advice either.

Only Vladimir realized what was happening and it was clear that Wang Ye had started his move!

When the director tried to seek advice from a higher-up in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was directly told that the Duma indeed had this authority.

In the Constitution, it’s explicitly stipulated that the Duma has the right to oversee all governmental departments!

There were not many similar consultation meetings in the past, but that doesn’t mean the Duma shouldn’t have the power to initiate them.

Didn’t you see the Congress in the United States constantly summoning various departments and major enterprises for inquiries? It’s exactly the same!

When the Duma uses this power, it’s not just a single Moscow City Bureau — even the Ministry of Internal Affairs must comply and be subject to "interrogation"!

Of course, holding a meeting is one thing, but the Duma probably doesn’t have the authority to directly dismiss the leadership of the City Bureau. They can only make recommendations to the government...

After understanding all of this, the director was somewhat relieved.

He and Korokolli, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were in the same faction. Although they were not particularly close, Korokolli should protect him for the sake of faction solidarity.

It was estimated that the Duma was doing this just to vent their anger and to "humiliate" him, and there would be no significant harm.

Alas, who made him offend Deputy Speaker Mikhail? He would just have to swallow this bitter pill.

It would be a face-saving gesture for the Duma!

But Gudelaf had no idea what he was about to face...

......

"Due to the misconduct of the police, the willingness of foreign businesses to invest has significantly decreased.

After conducting on-the-ground investigations and collecting evidence, I have gathered nearly five hundred survey forms, including foreign businessmen working in Moscow, representatives of foreign firms, students studying abroad, etc.

Over ninety percent of them expressed that their biggest dissatisfaction was with the police here!

When their personal safety can’t be fully guaranteed and they are even faced with the extortion of the police, they wouldn’t consider increasing their investment here.

The students studying abroad even stated that after graduation, they won’t consider staying here to work or live..."

At the Duma-organized consultation meeting focusing on the Moscow Police Station, a member of the Economic Committee stood on the podium, speaking passionately.

This was a member of the Third Faction, and also a congressman who was very close to Wang Ye.

This time, under Wang Ye’s instigation, he played the role of "firing" at the Moscow Police Station!

To be honest, the minor issues of grassroots police that were being talked about, there was not a single congressman present who wasn’t aware of them!

It’s just that everyone was too lazy to care about it in the past, because these minor issues didn’t bother them and would never fall onto their heads.

Everyone also knew that the police system had a tight budget, and the salaries of the officers were quite low. After all, it was all due to poverty!

Therefore, most congressmen even somewhat understood the grassroots police...

But when everyone learned that these seemingly insignificant things could have such a terrible impact, they felt uneasy.

They all started criticizing the police system!

"It’s heartbreaking! The police system is supposed to exist to ensure the safety of the people and create a safe business environment. How could it be like this now, with foreign businessmen even afraid to come to Moscow because they are worried about being blackmailed by the police!"

"Such misconduct! Totally outrageous! Immediate reforms must be carried out. Otherwise, why not just cut the budget for the police system next year, it’s not like they’re counting on their salaries anyway."

"Has anyone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived? Is this situation prevalent nationwide, or is it only happening in Moscow?"

"Strict punishments must be enforced! No wonder we haven’t been able to attract much foreign investment in recent years. Turns out the problem lies here..."...

......

Gudelaf stood in a small open space beneath the podium, with only a small lectern in front of him. It felt like he was a criminal standing on trial in court.

Listening to the speeches from the congressmen, he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He knew it wouldn’t be easy coming here today, but he didn’t expect it to be this difficult!

The deputy directors also came along, but since they were not the "main characters," they didn’t have to stand in the middle of the venue like him, answering questions from everyone.

The massive stack of so-called survey forms that the committee member brought out, took Gudelaf by surprise and made him very alert.

Because such things might seem insignificant, but they can actually be very "damaging"!

Especially when the Duma is greatly concerned about the impact on the economic environment, they’re raising the issue to an unprecedented level!

So, the reason for the poor state of Russia’s national economy in recent years, boiled down to the fact that Moscow’s grassroots police asked for a few hundred rubles from foreigners...

Gudelaf wanted to say this was utterly ridiculous!

It’s clearly those above in the Duma, especially the members of the Economic Committee, who are incompetent.

They lacked the ability to turn around the country’s difficult economic situation, and now they want to scapegoat us, the police?

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the right to speak here because Deputy Speaker Mikhail, who was presiding over the meeting, gave him no chance to speak!

By this point, Gudelaf was already regretting a bit.

He underestimated this young Deputy Speaker. If he knew something like this would happen, he should have been more cautious a couple of days ago.

He should have personally stepped forward to apologize to him and offered a more sincere reform plan.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be too late now.

...

Wang Ye called Gudelaf here, not to let him explain anything.

He just wanted to "publicly execute" him!

The survey forms he had collected were indeed the genuine survey results from "foreigners".

While this might seem difficult to others, for Wang Ye, it was extremely easy.

Don’t forget, where are the foreign businessmen mostly concentrated in Moscow?

Without a doubt, they are in a few wholesale markets!

With a single phone call, Wang Ye casually had people in the markets collect hundreds of survey forms from foreign businessmen, including some students working in the markets.

The sample survey was incredibly comprehensive.

As for the police in Moscow, these people had long harbored deep resentment.

Although there has been substantial improvement around the big markets, other places haven’t changed, and these foreign businessmen still feel uneasy when they go shopping.

Now that they have the opportunity, they certainly vented their anger in the survey forms...
