Mamykin Andrey Biography

After all, the walls also help at home. We continue to monitor the work of Andrei Mamykin, try to reveal him by no means in the bureaucratic, but also human quality. In a word: who are you, Mr. Mamykins? What do you spend money on parliament and confidence of voters? After all, the Eurodepapan can do a lot for his country. And I want to know: what exactly are you doing for Latvia? Here, winter is not so cold, and spring comes earlier, but we have snow, but here it is damp and gloomy.

The Morning of the Eurodepa begins dawn, at 6 hours. He, in essence, is a business trip, almost a migrant worker. True, very highly paid. His family - his wife and three sons - remained in their homeland, they see her husband and father. The well -paid work of the representative of the European elite turns out to be long separation. Andrei lives alone in the semi-semi, where he was hesitated to bring Sputnik correspondents, because just these days he was replaced by a boiler and the usual defeat reigned in the apartment in such a situation.

By the way, one and a half - this is not because there is not enough money, but just alone in large apartments is uncomfortable to live. But be sure to add that Mamykin forgives him everything, because he is married to his countrywoman, a wonderful blue -eyed Latvian. The deputy does not look unwashed, on the contrary, is very well -groomed. Immediately visible the old television officer: no matter what is at home, must be clean and tidy.

Ether is an ether ... One day in the life of the Eurodepa Mamykin: hellish machine on February 3, we meet with Mamykin on the street. The street is very tidy, near the church, at home here, as for the most part in Brussels, narrow-on two or three windows. Residents can boast that they occupy the whole floor, but in fact they live in a tiny apartment even by our standards.

But the facades are admired by stucco molding and purity. Hurrying to the metro, we pass by the monument to Field Marshal Montgomery, and Andrei proudly recalls that this great man who was erected by a beautiful monument on Bolshoi Prospekt took a parade of winners in Berlin, in which his grandfather also participated. And this random connection surprisingly multiplies his strength and motivation in the struggle for the interests of the Motherland.

But to get on it two to three times longer, but no extra time. The time in Brussels is the most expensive. The station is still empty, shops and many offices are still closed. And in the carriage there are already people. Including blacks and Arabs, who are so afraid in our Latvia. They look different, but most of them are quite decent, I would even say intelligently. Which, of course, dissonates with our Baltic fears regarding the threat of refugees.

Pull out a handbag from your pocket, to pull out a souvenir at a time-this is as much as you like, ”the criminal background Brussels Mamykin characterizes. In this sense, typical Baltic fears of phantom is. We have much more dangerous in this regard. But the threat of life here is much higher. In our Latvia, the goals for world terrorism are much less attractive. Therefore, my family is at home.

We leave at the Maalbek station, where in March there was a terrorist attack that claimed 15 lives and crippled 55 people. The station is located near the European Parliament, many deputies use it. But from the explosion, mostly random people suffered - migrant workers, refugees, simple hard workers, women and children. On the board of memory of the victims of the inscription attack in a variety of languages, there are both Arabic and Russian.

To the capital of the European Union, too many, and many express their sympathy. Before the meeting, the photographer and I still need to issue a press accreditation. While we are engaged in Mamykin’s assistants, he himself is already in a hurry to the voting room. Evening voting. Compromise 3. Compromise 4. From boredom, I look at the hall, deputies, assistants and guests.

There are two black people for several hundred people, a dozen pretty blondes, of which there are five bright ladies in red jackets. Blacks are guests. Some of the sympathies are deputies. Unlike the plenary meeting hall, there are windows in the premises of the committees. True, they are behind the backs of the deputies. I go to the window and look at home through a narrow street.

Most windows are deaf curtains. Behind one - a couple kisses. One of the buildings is a hotel. The windows of the hall are slightly darkened, probably on the outside they are mirror. We will check the amendment electronically. It is impossible to remember the daily list of amendments by numbers. Therefore, in the evening, each euro deputy worked with his assistants in the evening.

Someone-relying on the assistants, someone even just giving their vote to his colleagues in the faction in the issues unimportant for his country. The factions in the European Union are not at all the same as in our parliament. Mamykin in the second largest party of the Social Democrats. Tatyana Zhdanok is among the green. Often a deputy can affect the vote of his colleagues, but you can’t shift everyone on the sidelines, and a minute to the report.

It is necessary to be extremely concise.On the one hand, gratitude to his euro deputy for the trip and the promise to thank the deputy to himself at least with his voice, what I just don’t know in the next election, I went to Zhdanok and to Mamyakin, and I consider both worthy, and on the other hand, the life of the European Parliament from the inside is so surprising and burdensome that you don’t even know how to explain to the fellow citizens the need to vote on European assemblies, especially - especially - especially grandmothers.

During the break, Mamykin formulated the difference between self -government, Sejm and European Parliament is quite capacious: you need to vote in all elections. Self -government represents the broken sewage system to be removed not to be removed or even stole the money, the Sejm determines how many taxes should be paid for the pipe to manufacturers, builders and users, as well as the amount of pension deductions and how much to give the pipe to repair the pipe.

The European Parliament determines the rights of manufacturers, builders and users. As well as European co -financing for laying pipes in countries such as Latvia. Mamykin himself determined for himself the topics that are most important to him: the rights of non -citizens, any opportunity to attract money to Latvia or lobby for Latvian manufacturers. From these rational positions and considers any issues.

A large project that he promotes is the right of non -citizens to participate in municipal and European intakes. I congratulate the gentlemen! The applause and exclamations of approval sound. Deputies with a large crowd of well -dressed officials stretch out of the audience. The evening of the deputy. On some bicycles - children's chairs, on one instead of trunk, fruit boxes. Did the deputies come?

But they only put their bicycles in the garage. It can be cleaners or visitors. Today, Mamykin, according to the plan, works with documents, really answers our questions. Three days a week spends an hour of time studying French. For what? There is no strict need - English in the European Parliament is quite enough. An hour later, our people's deputy, taking advantage of his euro deputian law, takes a limousine with a driver and goes to dinner with voters.

The car is expensive and comfortable, but in the morning traffic jams two to three times faster. And without that, a rather festive Brussels from the windows of the limousine looks even prettier. Part of the group with which we arrived is already waiting for the restaurant. Payment of the banquet, as, however, the entire trip for the group, at the expense of the European Parliament.

If one of the guests of the deputy agrees to a visit, but at the last moment cancel everything, the deputy is forced to pay for the reservation of hotels and restaurants from his pocket. The cost of a trip for one guest of a deputy of the euro. This, in principle, is quite enough for air travel there and back, a hotel for a couple of days, a group excursion, modest breakfast and dinner, or lunch with an euro -deputy in an inexpensive, but decent restaurant.

In just a year, the Eurodepapan can invite guests. Choosing a person - exclusively for the deputy. He wants - he can spend the whole limit for friends.
