the President set a new date for a vote on the amendments to the Constitution: it will take place on 1 July. How justified and timely this decision? My opinion on this matter to share with us the leader of the party “Civil platform”, the state Duma Deputy Rifat Shaikhutdinov.
I think this is a very timely decision, – said the politician. Quite frankly is long overdue. We have been talking about the need to complete the constitutional process. Pandemic will be, but approaching global economic crisis. We are already seeing how it unfolds. And it must be dealt with the amended Constitution, approved by the will of the people. That there are no outstanding issues in this regard.
for safety I also have no doubt. Well, if we believe that our children can pass the exam if we can ensure their safety, the citizens will be able to provide the opportunity to vote. Besides, as far as I know, are preparing an unprecedented anti-epidemic measures on the voting day. So I do not see any problem here.
Yes, there are probably certain difficulties associated with the fear of the citizens: and all afraid to infect yourself and others. But with this, I can do that. If you hold a normal information campaign – to explain to people that everything will be calm, safe, nothing can harm health – but moreover, and if the weather is good, problems with attendance arise. We still have to consider that people had stayed home. I think they would love to come and give my opinion.
Notice that our party is actively involved in this process. We signed an agreement with the Public chamber – on participation in monitoring the voting process. In addition, signed a series of similar agreements with public chambers in the regions.
Our activists and supporters will be to explain to people the essence of the proposed changes to campaign that they participated in this, without exaggeration, a historic event.
