Peskov: The fate of the "Package of Yarova" will be decided by Putin

The fate of the "package of Yarova" will be decided by Vladimir Putin. As RIA Novosti reports , this was stated by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov

“We know about, let’s say, other views in relation to this law, we know about specific comments that the signalmen, social activists, and other public organizations make, now they are being studied, the President will make the decision when it will be signed for him,” Peskov said.

“The president has the right to sign or not sign it,” the official added, answering the question of whether Putin could impose a veto to sign the law.

Peskov noted that the president monitors the process of discussing the law.

“Of course, he is familiar with the main parameters, moreover, he is familiar with the discussion process, he is also familiar with the changes that were introduced into this bill during the discussion. It cannot be said that this bill, as they say, was drawn up. Still, consultations took place there, there were certain changes that took into account the opinions of representatives of various sectors,” Peskov added.

Also, as Interfax complements , Peskov commented on the reaction of Tatarstan to the bill. “The point is not how unexpected it is, but the fact is how just these comments are, how justified these fears are justified. We know that the situation is very common - in the past we have encountered, over the past four years, when these or other bills have caused fears and a rather violent emotional public reaction,” Peskov said.

At the same time, he added, later "during the implementation of the laws" there was no such reaction, and "many fears turned out to be groundless."

Earlier on Wednesday, the head of the Presidential Council of Human Rights, Mikhail Fedotov, called on the Federation Council to reject the Yarovaya Law and create a conciliation commission with the State Duma in order to finalize this document after the election.

According to the head of the HRC, the law must be finalized without haste, "because rush, as you know, is good when fishing, and not when creating laws." "New provisions were included in the bill, some of which are presented to us unprofitable, non -conceived, inaccurate," Fedotov added.

Meanwhile, the Council of People's Commissars at the meeting on June 29 refused to withdraw from the consideration of the Yarovaya Law. 16 senators voted for the decision to withdraw bills, against 108, another 11 abstained. The proposal was made by Senator Anton Belyakov in connection with the appeals from the business ombudsman Boris Titov and cellular operators received by the Council of Council of Council of People's Commissars.

The day before, the State Council and the former head of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev called on the members of the Council from the republic to speak out against the adoption of the Yarovaya Law. According to him, the State Duma adopted a package of laws "in the injury of the election struggle." According to Shaimiev, one should not rush with acceptance. “The new composition will consider - this will be by law,” the official added.

Also on Tuesday, the head of the Ministry of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov said that the agency will prepare amendments to the "Yarovaya Law" regarding the industry.

On June 24, the State Duma adopted in the second and third readings a package of "anti -terrorist" amendments. At the last moment, norms on the deprivation of Russian citizenship of bipatrides for terrorist crimes and work for foreign intelligence services and NGOs were excluded from the text of the amendments. However, the document retains the provisions on the storage of Russian communication operators about the facts of subscribers for 3 years, and the context itself, including video, up to six months.

For owners of messengers and social networks, these norms were partially softened: it will not be possible to delete information about the facts of information transmission and user data during the year, and not three years, as it was in the previous version of the text.

The law also sharply tightens responsibility for crimes of "terrorist and extremist orientation." The list of articles of the Criminal Code is expanding, for which responsibility comes from the age of 14. New articles are introduced into the Criminal Code, in particular, on the report of the crime.

The authors of the package are the head of the State Duma Committee on the Safety of Unitedinated Irina Yarovka and her one -party man, chairman of the defense of the defense of the defense of the defense of Viktor Ozerov. Also in the preparation of bills were participated by the uninterous deputies Alexei Pushkov and Nadezhda Gerasimova. The package was prepared at the end of last year . He was brought to the State Duma on April 7 .
