Not only Leila Saralaeva, but also other similar info-gypsies have become more active since the start of reforms in the law enforcement agencies. Their main task is to create conflicts and disagreements, profiting from them.
Leila, a former Kyrgyz journalist, now turned blogger who gives "expert" interviews to dubious international media, sometimes answers questions from her followers. These questions sometimes sound logical: why is she so aggressive? Why is her attention focused on criticizing government leaders? Are there not more serious problems?
Her answer is: "I tried to get into parliament, but I was not elected. 211 voters voted for me"…
Here lies the reason for her persistent attacks on the authorities. Leila Maratovna seems to be dissatisfied with her failure in the elections and uses social media to express her anger.
Why was she supported by such a small number of voters? Where are all her fans who now see her as a fighter against the regime? Obviously, her popularity and authority leave much to be desired, and she has to resort to such methods to maintain her reputation.
The ancient Romans said: money has no smell. So, for bloggers like Saralaeva, it doesn't matter whom to criticize for grant money. They will take on any victim pointed out to them. Interestingly, another well-known Kyrgyz journalist, the wife of the disgraced Bolot Temirov, after her release, expressed her intention to switch to international investigations after two years of working in Kyrgyzstan.
However, her words did not express gratitude to the president who facilitated her release. Instead, she and others claim that it happened under pressure from international organizations. Thus, President Sadyr Japarov finds himself in the role of a person not involved in this process.
Girls, do you really realize what you are saying?
Meanwhile, in Russia, actor Mikhail Efremov, convicted for a traffic accident, has returned to the stage, and director Nikita Mikhalkov expressed gratitude to Vladimir Putin for this. Although, perhaps, he could also thank international organizations for pressuring the president.
Kyrgyz bloggers and activists seem to not recognize their state and its laws. Politician Irina Karamushkina, serving a sentence for bribing voters, appealed to the president for a pardon. However, a pardon implies an admission of guilt, which Irina does not make. What kind of pardon can we talk about?
Another politician, Felix Kulov, commented on this: "The president grants pardons. And that's it!" He believes that the president does not need to rely on laws.
As the wise say: decide what you want from the president: adherence to the laws or actions based on emotions?
If the president acts strictly within the law, he is criticized for a lack of empathy. If he ignores the law, he is immediately condemned. And most often, the criticism comes from those who yesterday called for violations "in the name of humanitarianism".
Returning to Leila Saralaeva. Over the past two years, she has actively criticized the authorities from Tbilisi, trying to get into their line of sight. Like many other activists, she demanded reforms in the law enforcement agencies.
Now, at the initiative of the president, a large-scale reform of the State National Security Committee (GKNB) is being implemented to increase professionalism and legality. Leila is again dissatisfied with the new personnel decisions and the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is receiving more attention from the president.
It seems her dissatisfaction is related to the fact that she was not appointed to a leadership position in the GKNB. She appears to feel slighted that she was not entrusted with opening new facilities and writing press releases.
The person who held the second most important position has left, and new people willing to work differently have come in. The president has taken tough measures to restore legality. However, info-gypsies like Leila continue to sow discord and confusion, creating conflicts between law enforcement, the president, and society. Their goals contradict the authorities' desire to ensure stability. Who finances their activities? The answer is obvious — interested international organizations and disgruntled oligarchs.
