“I would call it another form of the interference in our internal affairs, especially during the voting on amendments to the main law that has already begun,” said Leonid Slutskiy Slutsky Leonid Eduardovich Slutsky
Leonid Eduardovich .

“We have consistently explained and continue to explain to our European partners: the amendments to Article 79 do not nullify the international obligations of the Russian Federation, Russia has fulfilled them and will continue to do so. It is an issue of establishing the primacy of the Constitution, which fully complies with foreign experience. For example, there is much stricter primacy of national legislation over international legislation in European states like the UK and Germany, not speaking about the United States,” he stressed.

The parliamentarian urged all citizens of the Russian Federation to come to voting stations or to take part remotely in the national vote on amendments to the Constitution.
