My guess is that this is a (really terrible) smokescreen argument, probably something of a nationalist nature. The councilman expresses his preference for Miś Uszatek, the local homegrown character, rather than Winnie-the-Pooh, in his mind a symbol of western imperialism and commercialism. Just another incident in the clash between east vs west and old vs new in that part of the world, but with a pretty hilarious result.
Funny, I never saw Pooh Bear as marching with saber in one hand, and flag in the other, leading western imperialism.
