The Duma will audit laws on security and migration policy

The State Duma will create a working group to analyze legislation in the areas of security and migration policy, Chairman of the Lower House Vyacheslav Volodin said at a plenary meeting on Tuesday. The group will be headed by Vice Speaker Irina Yarovaya (United Russia), and will include heads of relevant committees, including United Russia members Pavel Krasheninnikov (state construction committee) and Vasily Piskarev (security).

The leaders of the Duma factions recommended revising these legal norms during the discussion of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow. Thus, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov noted that terror, as the main weapon of the globalists, grows out of “poverty, hopelessness” and “ill-considered migration policy.” LDPR leader Leonid Slutsky called on his colleagues to support his party’s bill “to tighten migration legislation.” “The terrorists didn’t speak Russian, how did they get to Russia, on what basis?” – the politician was perplexed. The head of A Just Russia – For Truth, Sergei Mironov, suggested that the fact that the terrorists belong to “one of the Central Asian republics” is not accidental and is intended to “cause a negative reaction towards representatives of Central Asian countries.” “We should not fall for this, but we must understand that we need to radically review migration policy,” called the Right Russia. “Let’s once again pay close attention to measures for the adaptation of migrants in Russia,” agreed Nikita Demin, deputy head of the New People faction. Finally, the leader of the United Russia faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, agreed with calls to “bring order to the migration processes,” but called on his colleagues to take a thoughtful approach, mentioning, among other things, that one of the heroes who helped evacuate people from Crocus is the son of migrant parents .

The deputies also discussed other anti-terrorism measures, including strengthening the protection of socially significant and cultural objects and improving the work of law enforcement agencies. “You will not put guards at every store, school, hall, but you will provide other forms of security and protection,” called for, for example, Gennady Zyuganov. Nikita Demin proposed to “unburden” the police, who are now “dealing with denunciations, counting the colors in the rainbow to understand whether it is a banned organization or not, but in reality, when there is a serious threat to security, every policeman is needed in the case.” And Leonid Slutsky advocated the creation of a special unit within the Russian Guard to ensure security at public events: “People in civilian clothes (otherwise they will be targets) must ensure security in every room, and they must have the right to open fire on terrorists.”
