The head of Buryatia saw an “increase in the powers” of the municipal government in the amendments to the Constitution limiting it
Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, proposed by President Vladimir Putin, expand the powers of municipalities, said the head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov. But in reality, the changes, on the contrary, limit local self-government, making it actually dependent on state power. “They [the amendments] provide for the availability of medicine, <…>, care for children, <…> increasing the powers of municipal authorities,” Tsydenov said on the air of GTRK Buryatia.
