This statement by the Russian president took place during a meeting with a working group formed by the Kremlin to work on the constitutional reform proposed in January by the Russian head of state.
“A marriage is a union between a man and a woman”said Vladimir Putin on Thursday (February 13th) during a meeting with a working group formed by the Kremlin to work on the constitutional reform proposed in January by the Russian head of state.
“It’s a good idea and it needs to be supported. We just need to think about how to formulate it and where”, said the Russian president, after a proposal made by the conservative MP Olga Batalina to fix in the Constitution that the government must support “traditional family values”.
Olga Batalina says family is currently at risk due to attempts to introduce new terms like “number one parent” and “parent number two”. “It’s not a fantasy, it’s a reality in several countries”, was alarmed the deputy, who represents the ruling party Russia united in the State Duma (lower house of the Parliament) and which actively supported in the past the law prohibiting the “homosexual propaganda” in the country.
The Kremlin master surprised everyone by announcing in January that Russia needed to amend its written constitution in 1993 and formed a working group of dozens of Russian deputies and celebrities to prepare the amendments.
For many analysts, Vladimir Putin organizes with this reform after 2024, leaving the maximum number of doors open to preserve his influence while leaving the post of president since he can no longer stand for re-election. For his part, Vladimir Putin says that his recent proposals for constitutional revisions are not aimed at “extend his power”, while piloting the country for twenty years.
