a vote on the amendments to the Constitution will take place on 1 July. Vladimir Putin refused to mix the plebiscite with the Victory Parade of June 24, since it is a “Holy cause”, and considerations of economy in this case. The government can afford to make the weekend both days. The CEC head Ella Pamfilova said that to participate in the voting will be safer than going to the store.
As predicted, “MK”, the decision on the date of vote Vladimir Putin has received during a communication session with the co-chairs of the working group on amendments, the CEC head Ella Pamfilova and head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova. All of them are assured that no obstacles to the conduct of a plebiscite not. And many amendments are already de facto taken into account when developing new laws, decrees and government regulations. “This legal phenomenon. The amendments have not yet entered into force, but define our lives,” said taliya khabrieva.
According to another sopredsedateli group – Senator Andrey Klishas, the authorities already operate in the logic of the amendments. It clearly showed the pandemic coronavirus. “But concerns remain”, “therefore this policy should be enshrined in the Constitution.”
“In that people see guarantees of their rights,” he said. According to Klishas, for more than 2 months the Russians not only forgot the content of the amendments, but on the contrary – were better able to understand their essence. Awareness for some items is 97% and for all age groups. This, he stressed, was not even ever.
Klishas hinted that the 30-day period provided by law for the approval of the date of the vote, in this case need not be obeyed. Its meaning is information and training of the electoral system. But neither the one nor the other problems anymore.
– When? – asked a short question of GDP. And received the same laconic response: the end of June. However, just in case, err Klishas, it is necessary to discuss the matter with the CEC and the CPS.
Vladimir Putin has declared that knows about lawyers ‘ recommendations on the mandatory 30-day period. However, he has his opinion: we must give people the time and opportunity to escape from the coronavirus and focus on the amendments.
“I Know that was the idea to hold this vote on the day of the parade. Do not need to mix. Is a major milestone in the life of the country. The Victory parade is a Holy thing,” – said Putin. He recalled that one of the motivations to combine the parade and the vote was issues related to savings, maybe both days should be output. “At the same time just to save money will not” – he added.
In the end, the correct date the first is called the head of the CEC. “July 1 is the best day,” said Ella Pamfilova, noting that by this point the electoral Commission will be the guarantor��ment openness and transparency of procedures – all types and forms of voting will be necessary to present observers and the media. However, she suggested not to take only one day, and give a week to conduct a national plebiscite to “people have the opportunity to vote when it suits them” and “to minimize the risk of infection.” According to Pamfilova, to participate in the voting will be safer than going to the store.
Vladimir Putin acknowledged that “on 1 July, looks like the day is quite appropriate” and “legal point of view, this date is perfect.” But still he had doubts. The President recalled that on 3 July in the country to begin school final exams. So he decided to call the Minister of education Sergey Kravtsov to learn, it does not hurt the students. It turned out that in the opinion of the Minister, is not only not suffer, but even will win. “Sergey confirmed that the use of school premises will then help in the organization of the exam,” he told a dialogue with Minister Putin, although he seems surprised by the answer – “I don’t know how it’s possible.”
the Last word was given to the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, and she didn’t want to spoil a barrel of honey his fly in the ointment, optimistic attitude in supporting colleagues. According to Popova, to July 1, are still two of the incubation period. And if the country will continue to move “that pace” and “without disruption”, on this number on the incidence of coronavirus will be achieved “optimal outcomes” and the vote will not lead to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation. As for the exam, then, according to Popova, the two days will be enough to handle all areas and to prepare them for examinations.
