For Rashid Nurgaliev, on April 13, Friday turned out if not unhappy, then certainly unpleasant. From the early morning, the employees of his department cordoned off the building of the State Duma, where the Minister of Internal Affairs should have appeared to report to the deputies as part of a “government hour”. On the eve of this visit, deputies from United Russia rejected the proposal of colleagues from Fair Russia on the inclusion of the issue of the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the agenda. But even without this sharp questions, Nurgaliev was asked enough. Reporting about the investigation of the tragedy in the Kazan Police Dalniy police, where the detainee died after he was raped by a bottle of champagne, the minister said that all the perpetrators were already dismissed. And he said: "A new personnel policy should be the beginning of the reform." The reform, recall, began a year ago, the law “On the Police” entered into force on March 1, 2011.
Nurgaliev complained that in recent years there have been cases when citizens who did not find themselves in other areas of life were arranged to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this, as well as in excessive information pressure on police officers from society and the media, apparently, according to Nurgaliev, the main problem of reforming the Ministry of Internal Affairs is. The past test, after which the policemen became police officers, Nurgaliev called "the beginning of the cleansing of the ranks." The reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the minister emphasized, has not yet been completed, years can go on for years. How much - did not specify. So citizens who are accustomed to switch to the other side of the street at the sight of a policeman can only hope that another minister will already complete this reform.
