"100 thousand for dissolution, and chose millions"

The editors of Novaya Gazeta collected more than 100 thousand signatures underthe petition for the dissolution of the State Duma , which on February 1 the publication intends to transfer to the presidential administration and the CEC. The "new" began the collection of signatures after, despite 100 thousand signatures against the "anti -magnetic" law, the deputies accepted it in the third reading . In February 2012, Vladimir Putin, ina program article, as a presidential candidate, invited the parliament to consider all legislative initiatives that have collected more than 100 thousand signatures on the Internet.

At the moment, the Constitution provides for the dissolution of the Parliament by the President if it is impossible to reach a compromise on the candidacy of the Prime Minister or in case of distrust of the Parliament to the government.

Valery Trapeznikov, State Duma deputy from United Russia:

"Yes, this is not serious! 100 thousand, and millions were voted. I worked out, I think, they worked normally. In principle, there are no reasons for the dissolution. 100 thousand is not the figure. For four factions, many millions of people voted. If these people who have gathered 100 thousand have gathered, this is another matter. This is not their right. The Duma has been elected for five years, we have passed. There is no money to spend on new elections (in the State Duma - approx.) There is a reflection of all the views of our Russians: the Communities, LDPR, “United Russia”. We have already passed the regions.

Ilya Kostunov, State Duma deputy from United Russia:

"There is a Constitution of the Russian Federation, there are laws of the Russian Federation where all the issues of elections and the dissolution of the State Duma are spelled out. About 100 million voters are spelled out in Russia, about 30 million did not come to the December elections of 2011. These people did not vote for various reasons. So Novaya Gazeta activists can collect millions of signatures for different reasons. In any case, we will understand the signal. We will be grateful to the New Gazeta for motivation.

The country has a huge number of opinions. When millions of people live in the country, any point of view can collect millions of supporters. And this is a provocation and speculation. It is unfortunate that journalists support these speculations. We have a constitution, and we must work on it. "

Maxim Rokhmistrov, State Duma deputy from the LDPR:

“We can consider, but only the dissolution of the State Duma is regulated by several other laws. I think that if we adopted a law on the recall of deputies, then it would be appropriate because on average 100 thousand people voted for each deputy. But 450 deputies voted for about 50 million people, these 100 thousand are unlikely to be able to withdraw.

We have 140 million people live, and whoever does anything, there will always be a part of people who do not like it. Dance around the "Law of Dima Yakovlev" is a problem to a greater extent of the information war, deployed against our country. Unfortunately, we are losing it for now. "

Dmitry Gudkov, State Duma deputy from "Fair Russia":

“Of course, this is a precedent. 100 thousand is a fairly large number of signatures, therefore both the president and the Duma should somehow respond to it. And not only because there is an initiative according to which the parliament should consider the petition signed by 100 thousand citizens. Even if the Duma does not, then this petition will not pass invisibly. This is a serious and alarming signal for the State Duma, this shows the attitude to the parliament, you can say the most. advanced and active citizens of our country, and if the deputies and power do not think, then sooner or later everything can end sadly for them.

I think that the State Duma may formally consider this petition, but it is unlikely to react: they will send it to some committee, they will discuss it, vote and that’s it. That's where it will end. "

Anatoly Lokot, State Duma deputy from the Communist Party:

“You know that we made a lot of complaints about the results of the elections, but I’m afraid that now it is hardly possible to realize the idea of ​​the dissolution of the State Duma. The legitimacy of previous convocations, the fourth, fourth, also raised doubts, and we filed claims for the elections and reached the European court, only then we did not support the“ New Gazeta ”and did not really support such activity.

The Duma is very complicated, and the pressure of the administrative resource, despite the loss of positions of "United Russia", did not decrease, but increased.

100 thousand people are a lot, it is worth discussing. This needs to be discussed. One way or another, this will not go unnoticed: the opposition will raise this issue, but as a person engaged in real politics, I am afraid ... I am not afraid, I know - I do not see mechanisms that really worked in favor of such signatures. Only our faction introduced two or three bills on the revision of the State Duma deputy on the revision of the election results, so that the voter had such an opportunity. But not a single bill was supported by the State Duma.

There was a swamp square, there was a avenue of Sakharov, there were unrest. Now there are no unrest, despite all the attempts (I speak in no case with reproach). In Novosibirsk, which I imagine, there was also a surge in activity. Today there is no this activity, and I do not see the mechanisms that could realize the desires of these 100 thousand signatures. "
