the Chairman of the state Duma Vyacheslav Volodin has instructed the Duma Committee for security and countering corruption, as well as the Commission on control over reliability of data on income and on questions of Deputy ethics to check the number of deputies to have foreign citizenship. The request was sent to the CEC. The occasion was the address of the Deputy from the Communist party by Denis Parfenov.
– With all due respect to the State Duma, we can only share the information collected in 2016 when the registration of candidates in deputies of the State Duma of the seventh convocation, – said Pamfilova, quoted by “Interfax”.
She added that the CEC itself does not conduct inspections even during the period of the election campaign. During the registration of candidates, the Commission submits requests to the Federal tax service, the Central Bank, the Federal migration service of the Ministry of interior “for compliance with the seekers of parliamentary seats to the requirements of law.” Based on these results, the CEC makes a decision on registration.
– There is a presumption of trust – the applicant bears legal responsibility for providing the data – said Pamfilova.
Thus, at the time of adoption of the decision on registration in the Central election Commission information about the second citizenship at deputies were not. However, to check how things were on the Commission.
What happened in the future four years – we can’t know we have neither the capacity nor the authority, – said the Chairman of the Central election Commission.
