Poklonskaya couldn’t and changed her job
State Duma deputy from Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya became deputy chairman of the Committee on International Affairs. The corresponding decision was made today by deputies of the Russian parliament.
“I will try to be useful in the new committee,” Poklonskaya promised, thanking her Duma colleagues for their support.
Let us recall that Poklonskaya, as a former prosecutor, was unable to demonstrate breakthrough results in her previous job - the position of deputy chairman of the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption.
In March 2019, Poklonskaya claimed that she had materials about flagrant cases of corruption in the State Duma. She stated that a number of current parliamentarians were found to have real estate and bank accounts abroad, namely in Finland and France.
However, this information was not considered at the committee meeting, since committee members from United Russia did not attend. This happened after the vote on pension reform, in which Poklonskaya was the only one from United Russia to vote against.
After a complaint to the leadership of the faction and the leadership of the State Duma, at the next meeting of the committee, all deputies appeared as expected. However, this turned out to be the last meeting of the committee, and it was not possible to consider all the available materials. Shortly after this meeting, the committee was disbanded as part of the “optimization of the work of committees” of the State Duma. The committee was merged with the Ethics Committee, but Poklonskaya was not invited even as an ordinary member to the new committee. Thus, she was actually isolated and deprived of access to all information, noted the Tsargrad TV channel.
