“I am absolutely convinced that we are right to accept the amendments to the current Constitution,” – said the head of state. Some things that are “ripe”, but was not previously accounted for in the basic Law, will now find their place in it, the President said. “In my opinion, it is very important,” he said. In particular, the Russian leader highlighted the constitutional amendments related to social support. “We’re talking about social justice, which is to say that man can not receive less than the minimum wage” – recalled one of the rules of Putin. In addition, the living wage must meet minimum wage.

the amendments to the Constitution, the President added, also, “speaks of the need of the normal functioning of the pension system.” “Was never mentioned until now that pension income should be regularly indexed. And I understand why, – said Vladimir Putin. – It was not possible even”.

He noted that the laws about the necessity of indexing, however, were undertaken, but “another law was always allowed to correct previous”. “But if it be laid down in the Constitution, then any government in future will not you do not, can not be indexed”, – said the Russian leader.

These and other provisions, according to him, it is necessary to prescribe in the basic Law, “to work on, so they are not forgotten and was then cleaned of practical life.” Now it is done thanks to the decision of the Russians. “And if spelled out in the Constitution, then inevitably all the authorities and the government will be obliged to do it,” said the President.

the Head of state highlighted the norm, which proclaims the inviolability of borders of the Russian Federation and the impossibility of rejection of its territories. “It is not I invented,” he recalled, noting that this amendment was proposed by members of the working group and the citizens themselves. Earlier in the basic Law “was nothing of the kind, and it should be,” said the President.

Due to the amendments in the updated Constitution laid “and other things related to our sovereignty”. In particular, decisions of international courts do not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Putin said. According to him, is “in many countries without hesitation have long done.”

the Head of state reminded that in the Soviet Constitution contained the Leninist thesis on the law of exit of republics from the USSR. “This is a time bomb, laid in 1922, with the formation of the Soviet Union,” Putin said, stressing that this provision was repeated in the subsequent constitutions of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he explained, was not spelled out the procedure of secession from the Union. As a result, the Republic, which became part of the Soviet Union andlachiusa “in your Luggage a huge number of Russian lands, traditional historical Russian territories”, could leave the USSR “came to” and taking “gifts from the Russian people.” And when the Communist party, he continued, without any external shock beginning to crumble from the inside, it started to crumble and the country. “This is completely unacceptable. That is a time bomb, laid in 1922, with the formation of the Soviet Union and then in the subsequent constitutions of the 24-th, 36-th, 77-th year”, – concluded the Russian leader. “Of course, such things we must avoid,” – said the head of state, returning to the approved norm of the strengthening of sovereignty.

the President believes that the amendments “will strengthen our state, to create conditions for the progressive development of our country for decades to come”.
