Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted to the State Duma the candidacy of Mikhail Mishustin for the post of prime minister of the country. Chairman of the legislative body Vyacheslav Volodin announced this in Telegram-channel.
He noted that for the first time in the history of modern Russia, the State Duma will form the composition of the government, namely, approve its chairman, deputies, and federal ministers. The corresponding powers are enshrined in amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020.
“Today deputies will make a responsible decision on behalf of their constituents on this issue. A new stage of joint work between the legislative and executive powers is coming,” Volodin emphasized.
He added that both the government and State Duma deputies will be responsible for the result.
A discussion of the prime minister’s candidacy will take place in all factions on May 10, and a plenary session will begin at 14:00 Moscow time. It will open with a report by Mikhail Mishustin, then questions from parliamentarians and speeches by representatives of factions will be heard, after which a vote will take place on the approval of the candidacy of the head of government.
Volodin clarified that during the discussion it is necessary to obtain answers to questions about how the tasks set by President Vladimir Putin will be solved, namely demographic and youth policy, support for families, improving the well-being of citizens, strengthening technological sovereignty, developing the economy and regions, and increasing Russia’s defense capability.
The Russian government resigned immediately after Vladimir Putin’s inauguration on May 7. The Cabinet of Ministers will be elected in its entirety for the first time according to new rules that came into force after amendments were made to the Constitution. According to the new norms, candidates for prime ministers, deputy prime ministers and most ministers will be approved by the State Duma.
