The State Duma adopted in the third reading a new scheme for cutting electoral districts
The State Duma deputies at the plenary session on May 20 adopted in the third, final reading a new scheme for cutting electoral districts, which will be applied in elections in 2026, as well as a package of amendments to electoral legislation. The parliamentarians did not arise about the approved short stories about the approved short stories, but they talked about the origins of their own power and deputy responsibility – both to each other and to voters.
The next plenary week was opened by the Communists who decided to congratulate his colleagues on the birthday of the All -Union Pioneer Organization on May 19. It looked somewhat strange, given that the 38-year-old Vladimir Isakov spoke about its significance (there are still the majority in the Duma), who, due to his age, did not wear a red tie. Nevertheless, the leader of the modern Komsomol urged the pioneer experience in present -day youth, an “cult of consumption and permissiveness”.
“Three years will pass – the children will think that Batman or Superman took the Reichstag, we can’t miss this,” said Mr. Isakov.
Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin (« United Russia ») did not scare the forecasts of the communist. Some abstractly talk about how good it was in Pioneer and Komsomol (according to InSomar, 73% of Russians are of this opinion), the chairman complained: “But why was there no country where there was one ruling party, one youth organization, one pioneer?” The unicorn did not prompt, only vaguely hinting that the answer lies near the concept of “responsibility”.
“I’m also about responsibility today,” Andrei Lugovoi (LDPR) rejoiced and fell upon his colleagues from “Fair Russia-for the Truth” (SRZP) due to criticism of the bill on the ban on foreign agents to be founders and members of the diasporas. In this document, the LDPR calls the diasporas « national-cultural autonomies », which in the SRZP was considered « an attempt to legalize ethnic organized crime groups. » “In short, you can tell one proverb and sit in place: in the garden of Buzin, and in Kyiv an uncle,” Mr. Lugovoi described the position of the Socialist Revolutionaries. In response, Valery Kartung (SRZP) recalled another proverb: « The hat is on the thief and the hat. »
After the skirmish, the deputies began the third reading of the package of amendments to the electoral law. Recall, among other things, he Provides the opportunity conducting elections in purely electronic format. The Communists could not pass by this topic. “The only understandable way to transfer authority to his representatives is paper ballots,” said Yuri Sinelshchikov (Communist Party), urging “in the interests of society and in order to ensure honest elections” to reject the bill.
Unicorn Dmitry Vyatkin retorted that the bill « absolutely about another. » “These are issues regarding the restriction of foreign influence on the party, this is the clarification of issues of ensuring the safety of elections in areas where martial law, foreign plots and, in the end, the question of the regions about whether it is worth spending impressive money and to choose one deputy a year before the completion of the powers of the convocation,” Mr. Vyatkin explained. As for the electronic voting, when using the relevant terminals, the preservation of paper ballots will be guaranteed, and the technology itself has been introduced everywhere only in Moscow, so that the fears of the Communists are “exaggerated”, reassured the uninerussian.
As a result, the law was supported by 327 deputies, 54 voted against, another 23 abstained.
The parliamentarians would have accepted the new cutting of the electoral districts in the State Duma elections without discussion if Galina Khovanskaya (SRZP) did not remember the responsibility to the inhabitants of the capital’s district Sokol, who will now be not treated with her native Leningradsky, but to the Tushino single -member district. “Residents will not understand me if I say: I am no longer your deputy in case of election. I beg you to return the falcon to my district, ”Mrs. Khovanskaya asked. “They did not proceed from the individuals, not from the name of the deputy of the current, but exclusively from the numbers (the number of voters. – « Kommersant »), ”Dmitry Vyatkin explained, after which 396 parliamentarians supported the new cut. Only Mrs. Khovanskaya, her fellow party, Marina Kim and excluded from United Russia, deputy Yevgeny Marchenko, opposed.
