The mayor of Novosibirsk did not see restrictions on the rights of local self-government in the amendments to the Constitution
Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, allowing the government to directly form local self-government bodies, do not limit its rights, says Novosibirsk Mayor Anatoly Lokot. He heads the largest municipality in Russia. “What is written in the constitution cannot be unconstitutional. If it is adopted, it works,” Lokot replied to Taiga.info’s request to evaluate the amendments to the Constitution regarding local self-government.
