In Chechnya, they offer to allow the President of Russia to occupy a post for three consecutive periods

In the Chechnya parliament, a bill has been prepared, increasing the number of terms that one person can occupy as president of Russia, from two to three in a row. This was reported on Tuesday was reported by "Chechnya Today."

On May 8, the document was considered at a meeting of the Council of the Chechnya Parliament, chaired by the speaker Magomed Daudov (nickname Lord). It was decided to make a bill for discussion at the nearest plenary meeting of the parliament. After approval, he will go to the State Duma.

“This amendment does not detract from the democratic foundations of the state and enables the people to determine their future,” the agency quotes an explanatory note to the bill.

It is noted that the document was developed on the initiative of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, expressed in April. Meanwhile, Kadyrov on April 13 proposed to completely exclude the norm from the Constitution , which establishes the limit number of presidential terms for one person.

“While the current president is in health, we should not think about another head of state,” he said. “Now Putin does not have an alternative.”

On March 23, a few days after the next presidential election, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that if his boss would offer changes to the Constitution, they would not affect the provisions of the presidential authority . The Russians have no "slightest reason" to believe that Putin intends to adapt the basic law to the "personal political will", the official assured.

Until 2009, Article 81 of the Constitution established that the same person could not occupy the presidential post for more than two terms. Then, at the initiative of the then President Dmitry Medvedev, the norm was edited - now the same person is forbidden to occupy the post of head of state for more than two consecutive terms, but a ban on new nominations in the future, after a break, was lifted.

This gave Putin the opportunity to nominate in 2012 for the next presidential term. Thus, now he is declared elected for a second term in a row.

Meanwhile, critics of the regime noted that the transfer of power to Medvedev for 2008-2012 was fictitious and the country was actually ruled by the same Putin, who then held the post of prime minister. Thus, in fact, Putin according to the results of the past elections will become the head of state for the fifth time in a row.
