Regional parliaments on March 12 consider the package of amendments to the Constitution proposed by the president. They suggest a zeroing of the presidential terms for Putin. We tell how the legislative assemblies of the regions vote for changes in the basic law.

Petersburg

The Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg supported amendments to the Constitution. The deputies from United Russia and the LDPR - 38 out of 49 people at the session voted. The factions "Party of Growth", "Fair Russia" and deputies from the Communist Party (7 people) abstained. Four - non -partisan Maxim Reznik and Mikhail Amosov, the "apple tree" Boris Vishnevsky and communist Alexander Rumov, spoke out against.

Kaliningrad

Kaliningrad deputies approved amendments to the Constitution. The parliamentary majority voted - 33 deputies. There were three against.

Before discussion, the deputy from the Patriots of Russia party Mikhail Chesalin proposed to transfer the consideration of amendments due to the fact that many simply did not have time to get acquainted with them.

"The question is of great importance, amendments on more than 70 sheets, they were sent yesterday at the end of the working day. I personally did not receive and this morning I got these amendments. It is impossible to get acquainted with them for such a short time," he said.

Chesalin called the block of social amendments "a dummy", noting that these norms are enshrined in federal laws.

The deputy from "United Russia" Larisa Schulkene called the amendments socially significant.

"The protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity for our region is of particular importance. The amendments will cut off some heads calling for to give the Kaliningrad region, both ours and abroad," commented Unicorn Valery Frolov.

The LDPR and fair -Russians faction supported amendments. The Communists opposed.

Petrozavodsk

28 deputies voted for the violations in the Constitution in the Legislative Assembly, two representatives of Yabloko were against, two deputies from the Communist Party abstained.

The deputy from Yabloko Emilia Slabunova said that the proposed changes to the Constitution do not correspond to the constitution itself.

"The president has no authority that would allow him to appoint a nationwide vote, to force other authorities to participate in it, to remove 14 billion rubles for these purposes from the budget. The bill is an open encroachment on the basics of the constitutional system. The proposed amendments on social issues reinforce poverty for decades ahead. Because the current poverty is beneficial. All that political. The tragicomedy with the reversing of the presidential terms that we observed over the past two days, she showed the truth of intentions: these are actions to usurpation of the authorities, ”the politician noted.

Leonid Liminchuk from the United Russia faction did not agree with her.

“I simply don’t understand the links of the“ apple ”representatives. They don’t see the obvious. The king of“ apple ”[probably, this refers to Grigory Yavlinsky] says that this is all illegal. He has already taken on this function of the supreme judgment and immediately outside the legal framework declares all this outlawed. Well, God is the judge, and it is good that God appeared in the Constitution, because, as if to this, we all believe in this. Each one in his own way helps us to make our country more, better, smarter.

The head of the Communist Party faction Evgeny Ulyanov said that they will not vote on amendments at all.

“The party considers the chosen way of changing the basic law unacceptable. In fact, we are faced with an attempt to change the political structure of the country for the goals of a person who seeks to maintain power in any way and be a lifelong ruler,” the communist noted.

Pskov

Deputies in the Pskov region also supported amendments. 36 out of 44 deputies voted for, two representatives of Yabloko - against, five people abstained.

Before the vote, the chairman forbade the leader of the Pskov "Yabloko" to Lev Shlosberg. According to the speaker Alexander Kotov, the session was extraordinary, so the performances are not provided. Schlosberg demanded that the question be made to vote, the deputies voted against the speech. One of the journalists - the 7x7 Internet magazine Ivan Zhuravkov - the speaker of Kotov first forbade to move around the hall, then said that he was not going to substantiate his comments, demanded to stop shooting and threatened to remove the meetings from the hall. As a result, the journalist was taken out of the hall.

Schlosberg was still able to act when discussing the bill.

"The constitution of Vladimir Putin throws a shadow on the basics of the constitutional system of Russia, squeezes out the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen from the basic law of the Russian state, deprives Russia of oxygen of freedom. A quarter century after the adoption of the Constitution of Vladimir Putin, the Russian state is returned to the twentieth century, during the perpetual omnipotence of one party and the authorities of one person standing at the head of its man," he said.

The amendments were criticized by the leader of the regional branch of the Communist Party Peter Alekseenko.

"Somehow everything is fleeting. We were discussing the name of our Pskov airport in the crosses longer. Most of the population probably does not even know what changes and proposals are there. The result of this was the zero of the deadlines of the presidential rule. For this, probably, everything was conceived."

The representative of United Russia Boris Polozov, in turn, criticized the opposition.

"Today we heard a fuel performance against the current president. And above all, because they finally realized that in open competition with Putin in the elections, nothing shines in the election. And this leads them directly to the rabies. They find the most exquisite words, quotes the classics about it - everything that is in order to express their anger. Therefore, I will not give arguments here. Today we owe you here. To take advantage of your right, to use my obligation to express my attitude to the amendments of the Constitution, I comprehensively support them and call you to this, ”he said.

The head of the Communist faction Valery Gaydym said that the Communist Party proposed the nationalization of large enterprises, a decrease in retirement age and a progressive taxation scale, but they did not enter the final bill.

"We hoped that the detailed campaign would contribute to the operational solution of the problems of the Novgorodians by local authorities. It is not clear to us how to deprive free medicines of the disabled. How can we increase the growth of tariffs at the housing and communal services, which in some areas of the region exceed inflation several times. The impression is that the entire campaign was carried out in the sake of zeroing the deadlines of the Russian Federation. In connection with the stated, the emergency fraction of the PPRIP. It will not be able to accept these amendments, ”the politician said.

And in mind, that the amendment to" rely "the timing The presidency, despite the vote of the Communist Party of the Communist Party - against, has not gone anywhere, the Russian Federation has every chance to stay under the control of Vladimir Vladimirovich 12 years after the expiration of the current period that lasts since 2018, ”he said.
