“There is a proposal to entrust the commission for the regulation and maintenance of the activities of the State Duma to the nearest council (Duma.— “B”), which will be held on November 8, and then, if necessary, bring this issue to the plenary session of the State Duma, develop proposals that would allow those deputies who do not accept vaccinations and for some reason do not get vaccinated (against coronavirus – “B”), work remotely, ”said Mr. Volodin.
Mr. Volodin promised that the deputies sent to remote control will be able to express their position either through a faction or through a commission on regulations, where the deputy will have to speak on a particular issue.
