It took consideration of a bill to raise the retirement age in the first reading. The first reading is usually the nature of the negotiation and determines the actual startup of certain legislative changes. government initiatives, in which access to the well-deserved rest for the Russian women are going to move on 8 years "ahead", and for men - five, taken in the State Duma by a majority vote.
For the bill pension reform made the faction "United Russia", which has a majority in the lower house. but, remarkable, not all. There was one brave man only, who decided to express anything other than "general party line" opinion. And it turned out to be a daredevil woman - MP from the Crimea Natalia Poklonskaya. All other representatives of the "United Russia" – in unison.
Recall, Poklonskaya that Natalia was still the only MP from the faction of the parliamentary majority, which the (at least in the frame) I not stood up for “greetings” American “partners” of Congress.
The proposed version of the pension legislation changes were made and three opposition factions of the State Duma. In the Communist Party, "Fair Russia" and LDPR noted, that in its current form, this bill can bring only harm to the population.
noted, there are entire regions in Russia, where purely demographic indicators of the majority of people simply will not be able to live to retirement age. Opponents of the bill also noted, that there is no clear idea, how the government is going to solve the problem by improving the living standards of pensioners in the future - new initiatives to raise the retirement age?
It should be noted, that the bill suggests raising the retirement age and for those citizens, which so far are entitled to early retirement. While the document does not say about military pensioners. stated, for them at retirement age bar for the government is going to define "late".
Now the bill awaits consideration in subsequent readings with experts.
