Mikhail Mishustin broke the record of the report in the state Duma: his communication with members offline lasted almost 4 hours. The Prime Minister rejected the proposal of the speaker Volodina forward some questions to the Ministers who for the first time in the Parliament. “I want you to understand how I think!” — he said, answering carefully all comments, including hitting Zyuganov and Volodin at the Finance Ministry and criticism of Zhirinovsky, demanded from mishustina to wear a mask and terminate the handshake.
the speech of the head of the government with an annual report in the state Duma was planned for mid-April, but was postponed because of the pandemic coronavirus. This delay and its cause, let Mishustin not be accountable for the work of Medvedev. He just thanked the previous Cabinet for good starting position: at the beginning of the year the country was achieved macroeconomic stability, have accumulated significant reserves, public debt dropped to the lowest values. “All this created good preconditions for a breakthrough, but here we are faced with cov!” — said Mishustin. The Prime Minister acknowledged that initially it was going to solve absolutely other tasks, but as they say, there is a silver lining: stress helped the government to unite and gather. In the context of the epidemic, according to him, all Vice premiers and Ministers he worked with full dedication from morning till night, and important decisions were taken and processed within 24 hours.
Mishustin detail listed what measures of support of citizens and businesses has brought the greatest return and how much they cost the state. “We went to the easing of fiscal policy: the reduction of revenues expenditures, they are even increased,” he said. Overall, the government sent to fight the epidemic and its consequences 5.3 trillion rubles, tried to provide targeted support to all who needed it. Also a strong point of the government’s policies during this period Mishustin considers proactivity. It is possible to avoid a collapse in the health care system and pass through the peaks of incidence is better than other countries. However, the epidemic has exposed problems that arose from the optimization of health. “The government’s task to eliminate them”, under the applause of the audience said Mishustin. In General, the Prime Minister spoke emotionally, brightly, fluently, and it seemed that without papers… the Secret revealed the deputies themselves, put in the Internet photos of the translucent prompters, standing on either side of the rostrum. To see typed in text, the head of the Cabinet turned to the right and left. However, this American way of speaking in any case looked better than the traditional reading of the speech from the sheet.
“we are facing other problems than six months ago, ��about the basic values and priorities remained unchanged — to serve, to work as a team to achieve results”, — said the Prime Minister. Although the coronavirus is still not finished and vigilance is of the essence, the government is working to restore economic growth and incomes. In this regard, there are high hopes for the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, chemical industry, shipbuilding and housing construction, which can be the growth drivers. Also in the portfolio of the government there are 19 infrastructure projects, which will give a multiplier effect. “We need a technological breakthrough!” the Prime Minister said, promising to create the most favourable environment for IT business and to provide industry personnel. By 2024, the recruitment for these specialties, he said, will increase by 2.5 times. The government on its part will become an active promoter of artificial intelligence: it creates a “digital platform” will translate the interaction with citizens and businesses in a contactless format. According to the head of the Cabinet, “figure” will allow to cope with the challenges of time and provide an opportunity for rapid economic development of the country. Another promising area Mikhail Mishustin called tourism. The tour operators have already been granted subsidies by 3.5 billion rubles., 15 billion will go for partial compensation of expenses to the people who are up to the end of the year decide to relax in the Russian regions. Depending on the price of the tour they will receive cashback in the amount of 5 (with travel cost 25 thousand rubles) up to 15 thousand rubles (at 75 thousand rubles.).
When it was time questions, Vyacheslav Volodin decided to remind the Prime Minister that in connection with the adoption of the amendments to the Constitution, the current report is held in a new format, meeting in full the composition of the present Ministers, and they, too, can meet the MPs “And they are already depressed!” But Mishustin for this wand is not seized, saying that he wants to convey to the parliamentarians of the logic of actions and plans of the government. As you might expect, many questions were inspired by a coronavirus. Deputies were interested in, when, finally, there will be a vaccine, will the children go to school on 1 September and that still happens with the summer Wellness campaign. The Prime Minister reassured that the restrictions on the travel of children outside of their region are removed, and the education system as a whole is preparing for the beginning of the school year in regular mode, but everything will depend on the situation in each region. The final decision will be taken 20 Aug. As for the vaccine, then there is nothing new waiting to fall. “But if there is a second wave, the health system will cope with it. The reserves are”, — assured the deputies Mishustin. “We need to raise the spirit! To and from work in every region and municipality the people shall walk with the dog��her!” — protested Nikolai Kharitonov. “We will go with the song!” — agreed the Prime Minister.
Oleg Shein asked about the prospects of “garage Amnesty” and unknowingly hit a sore spot. It turns out that the Prime Minister at the time, was the victim of a tolerable campaign: “I had a garage, but we couldn’t hold it.” Therefore, the bill on “garage Amnesty” Mishustin supports with two hands: if a person has a garage, he should be able to make it, this is true. “But you don’t need it anymore will not return!” — sympathized with the deputies.
the Big conversation was around the budget of the regions. The Cabinet criticized the unfair distribution of funds: according to Volodina, the formula used by the Ministry of Finance, are not always transparent, and every third ruble rooted in the rich regions and the poor get the crumbs. Went to the Finance Ministry, and Gennady Zyuganov. “I want to appeal to Siluanova, I wanted to say to the “friend Siluanov,” but he’s still not up to comrade. The hole in the budget of 5 trillion That will sequester? In regions is moan!”, — said the leader of the Communist party, demanding to nationalize raw branches and to dispossess the rich. Mishustin for siluanova stood up: nothing opaque in the Finance Ministry, he said, do not. And Zyuganov’s attack on the rich was hit, noting that unlike him, rejoices when someone gets richer. The main thing to do so that the taxes of wealthy people left in the offshore, but remained in Russia. On Cyprus this work has been completed, ahead of other jurisdictions.
the Leader of LDPR demanded mishustina to wear a mask and stop to shake hands with everyone by the hand. “I have the antibodies, immunoglobulin G. In principle, a single case in the world when their availability has not yet occurred. I really try not to infect any Deputy of the state Duma”, — parried Mishustin. The Prime Minister agreed to the request Zhirinovsky’s support went to Khabarovsk on the troubled economy Mikhail Degtyarev: “I’ll call him, will work”. And only the wish to take not only economic, but also political functions (“You must be like Stolypin, and you fall below the Gaydar!”) left without comment. That, however, knowing how to end the story, it is not surprising.
