This article was originally submitted to WP:AFC but languished there for a long time, due to the articles excessive length and promotional content. I trimmed about 80% of it, though kept all the sourcing for notability purposes which it appears to pass. Still, any topic on politician is going to have criticism and detractors and this article presently has none of that. Also it appears he may be a Communist(?) or in the past, in any case his political associations need to be expanded. So the article is still basically a POV of a COI and could use some additional outside input from neutral parties. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:38, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
