The State Duma intends to accelerate the passage of the bill equating the auto tests to the demonstrations, and the tent camps - the Vedomosti reports . On Tuesday, the Committee on Public Associations will approve and recommend accepting the document "in the first reading and immediately as a whole."
The head of the committee, Yaroslav Nilov (LDPR), denies that a rush with the adoption of the bill is caused by protests against the introduction of road collection from heavy vehicles. "He will not touch the protesting truckers, they go without any symbols. And it was developed and introduced much earlier than this situation," the deputy said. According to Nilov, he himself will not vote for the document.
“After protesting, the authorities have fears that the cars will be used for protest, double standards of application are initially laid down in this bill,” said Peter Shkumatov, the Blue Vederok coordinator. “Even the funeral and wedding processions or rallies of fishing enthusiasts can fall under the rally with symbols, and only the authorities will determine which vehicle is good and which power, and what power is not. As usual, he is trying to solve the problem from the wrong end. "
“The conversation is not about the prohibitions, but if you want to set up the tent town from which the Maidan began in Ukraine, you need to coordinate your actions taking into account the changed realities,” Vyacheslav Lysakov told the Deputy Dognorosros.
“Such a bill gives local authorities the opportunity to interpret it as it is convenient, and prohibit everything, up to attributes,” said Nikolai Lyaskin, activist of the progress of progress. He believes that the adoption of amendments is related to preparations for the 2016 parliamentary elections, but they will be useful to the authorities to suppress any social protests.
Back in March, this bill was prepared at the Ministry of Internal Affairs on behalf of the Security Council and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. As stated in the explanatory note, the document introduces to the current law on rallies "amendments providing for the assignment of new forms of mass protests (tent towns, auto -launching, etc.) to public events." In 2014, protest promotions with the establishment of tent towns in public places were held in a number of regions of Russia ", the authors of the document say. In addition, in 27 regions, 126 automobiles took place, in which 4 thousand people for 1,500 cars took part.
“Under certain conditions and circumstances, such actions can develop into spontaneous speeches, group and massive violations of public order,” the explanatory note emphasizes.
Meanwhile, in the text of the bill itself, unlike an explanatory note, this is not about car races and tent towns, but about the "movement on vehicles" using posters, banners and other means of visual agitation and also about "rapidly-proof preferential structures".
The bill was submitted to the State Duma in the first half of the year. It was assumed that he would be accepted in June. However, then the document was recalled for revision. On September 24, the government repeatedly introduced a bill to the lower ward.
