Yesterday's news: Budanova was not subjected to examination, and Shantsev - elections

There was another ghostly hope that the process of Yuri Budanova would move. The North Caucasus District Military Court completed the judicial investigation; Within its framework, five specialists who conducted a psychological and psychiatric examination of the colonel were interrogated. The beginning of the debate is scheduled for July 17.

In addition, petitions were rejected on both sides. The lawyer of the Kungaev family Abdula Khamzaev asked to appoint new examinations. This time it was not about the colonel himself: it was proposed to study Kungaeva's clothes and conduct a linguistic examination against the murdered. Budanov’s lawyer Alexei Dulimov insisted, in turn, by calling psychiatrists who were previous psychological and psychiatric examinations to the court.

The metropolitan Duma had to respond to the decision of the Supreme Court that the election of the Moscow vice-mayor was contrary to federal law. True, the court made this decision three and a half months ago, and the corresponding bill “On Amendments to Article 35 and 43 of the Charter of the City of Moscow”, which prohibits choosing the deputy mayor, was adopted in the first reading only now. The second time the bill will be placed on Monday voting. According to the amendment, the vice-mayor is appointed, and if desired, it is removed by the mayor’s decree.

On the one hand, this is another story about how local rulers came up with their laws, poorly consistent with the federal ones, and what came of it. In Moscow, the fate of the notorious registration turned out to be the same: after the court decision, it had to be urgently renamed registration. On the other hand, the question of the mayor’s election is very personal. The decision of the Moscow City Duma contributed to a long campaign to deprive the Deputy Prime Minister Valery Shantsev of his exceptional position. Previously, with all the desire to remove him, who was chosen with the mayor Luzhkov, was problematic. And appointed by the mayor will be much easier.
