The bill establishes new grounds for early termination of parliamentary powers, the State Duma adopted in the second reading. As already reported, “Times”, to initiate the dismissal procedure will be able to a committee or faction. So now he is facing and the future of single-mandate, which theoretically can not join the faction.

to deprive the mandate of reason is the failure of the deputy duties of the law “On the status of the State Duma deputy” in for 30 days. And to the deputy duties include liaising with the voters, consideration of citizens’ appeals, maintaining their personal reception, attendance at meetings of the State Duma and the committees

After a faction or committee initiates the termination procedure of deputy powers. consider the situation of the ethics commission. The final decision on the fate of parliament must take the whole State Duma by a vote. In consideration of the amendments in the second reading at the session of the State Duma to resist the bill tried only the Communists.

«What is being done now, it is actually under each deputy, who in this room, at all of us is enclosed a great atomic bomb” – once said the coordinator of the Communist Party faction Sergei Reshulsky. According to him, although the first version of the bill was “flawed”, an amendment made it worse. Communist indignant about the fact that now initiate a process of deprivation of the mandate can and committees. And I am asking rhetorical questions: “What are you doing? What committee or your control of my sitting here, work here, in this room? “He also asked the chairman of the Duma Sergei Naryshkin with a proposal to attend committee meetings, where most of the deputies of the work by proxy. “We have committees are conducted when there are not only 50% do not have members of the committee, and 30% no!” – Said Reshulsky

Vladimir Pligin, chairman of the Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Development, said in response. that the final decision will be made whole, the State Duma, and in front of this situation even consider the ethics commission

Another Communist MP Boris Kashin, called for the initiation of the procedure to the party involved, not a committee or faction. According to him, in the hall heard the voice of United Russia, which together are called the amendment “nonsense.” In response Alexei Didenko from the Liberal Democratic Party pointed out that in the hall when considering whether there is not more than 15 members of the Communist Party, hinting at the importance of the initiative.

Even before the plenary session during the consideration of the Committee of the opposition Duma deputy, former Eser Dmitry Gudkov tried to raise the issue of whether considered for absenteeism meeting if the MP has written power of attorney to vote on their behalf to another deputy.

Author amendment deputy Didenko said that within 30 days MP may well come and personally.

it is known that under the law almost immediately have to fall within the deputies of the “Fair Russia” Ilya Ponomarev and Alexey Mitrofanov. Both can not do that because of problems with the law. For Ponomarev, however, continues to vote Gudkov. “My attorney is in the committee and receiving regions are also working – explains Ponomarev, who is about a year in the United States. – My document is one of the largest among the State Duma deputies are constantly carried out with citizens. It is, however, constantly chasing mail paper for my signature, but what to do? »

Ponomarev was even able to give a declaration of income. If he did not, he would have lost under this mandate. By the way, the bill was ready for the second reading immediately after the publication of MPs declarations, although it was expected that it will be delayed indefinitely after the first reading. “The Declaration was also sent UPS mail with return receipt requested, so an attempt to lose it they did not succeed” – proudly told Ponomarev its struggle for the preservation of the deputy status

The deprivation of the mandate of a deputy may still be an exceptional case.. And now it can touch it Ponomarev and Mitrofanov, whose absence in the State Duma in Russia prove easy

However, political analyst Nikolai Mironov believes that if you read the law literally, it turns out that the chosen people can be deprived of the status of any of the three grounds listed in the document. “Amendments in fact allow for arbitrary decisions. Especially since the procedure is quite simple. From beginning solves the Ethics Committee, and then the whole State Duma, – explains the expert, noting that the duties of the deputy themselves, apart from visiting the State Duma sessions, rather vague. – Firstly, it is unclear what the relationship with voters. In the document there is no clear criteria ».

The law also obliges the deputies to consider appeals of voters and personally conduct reception of citizens at least once in two months, as well as to hold meetings with voters at least once every six months.

«But if we now send some appeal to the deputy, it will be lost, and after 30 days he did not see, and this means that you can already apply to the ethics committee or not? “- asks Mironov

Because of the vague wording of the amendment could be interpreted as anything.. But it is obvious that they will be applied selectively to revoke mandates from unwanted government deputies, Andrei Buzin sure of the “Voices”. According to him, the practice already in place in the election commissions. “For example, in the Dmitrov district of Moscow was expelled from the person election committee, who initiated the investigation into the fraud. He was charged that he had missed the meeting, although, according to statistics, went more often – says Buzin. – I took it myself when I was expelled from the Board of Trustees of the CEC. This is despite the fact that I missed only one meeting, and it was the most disciplined member. »
