Wang Ye's relationship with Medvedev was not bad; one could even say that he had once been Medvedev's "benefactor."
If it hadn't been for his recommendation, Medvedev might not be where he was today.
However, personal relationships are personal relationships, and public affairs are public affairs. Now that Medvedev had taken that position, his first consideration when making decisions had to be the interests of the government.
Only by doing so could he gain approval from the personnel within the system, and only then would people uphold him.
It was for this reason that the finance budget proposal submitted this time would benefit the government more. Indeed, if one wanted this budget to be approved and carried out, it would inevitably harm Wang Ye's interests.
From where would the gap in funds come?
