FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
A group of leftist MPs have submitted a bill contesting the 6-month old embargo on alimentary products produced in the countries that apply economic sanctions against the Russian Federation.
The authors of the motion are four lawmakers representing the
center-left political party Fair Russia. The fifth sponsor is MP
Dmitry Gudkov, who describes himself as an independent because he
was expelled from the Fair Russia party in 2013 for taking part
in anti-government street protests. He still occupies his seat on
Fair Russia’s ticket though.
The explanatory note posted on the Lower House’s web-site
together with the text of the initiative alleges that the ban on
supplies of foreign-made foodstuffs contradicts the article 34 of
the Russian Constitution that guarantees any citizen the right to
use own capabilities and property in entrepreneurial activities.
“The ban on imports of good quality foodstuffs that are safe
for the citizens’ health has led to a limitation of the
constitutional right of Russian businesses for economic activity,
because many companies do not possess an economically feasible
alternative for materials that their technological cycles are
based on,” the document reads.
The MPs who drafted the bill also noted that the Constitution
allows for limiting the basic citizens’ rights when it is
necessary for protection of the state and interests of other
members of the society, but such limitations should only exist in
the form of a federal law. However, the existing embargo was
introduced by the presidential decree “On using separate special
economic measures for ensuring the security of the Russian
Federation” dated August 6, 2014.
The sponsors of the motion suggest to alter the the federal laws
“On Special Economic Measures” and “On State Security” so that
these acts include the procedure of using special economic
measures.
The Lower House committee for Economic Policy will not support
the motion, deputy chairman of the body, MP Anatoly Karpov
(United Russia) has said. “This is the government’s sphere,
not the legislative bodies. I see no legislative basis here and
the State Duma has no powers to detail such laws,” Karpov
told TASS news agency.
The parliamentary also added that in his own opinion the decision
to introduce the embargo on food products from countries that use
sanctions against Russia “was right in principle, with
certain miscalculations allowed for certain types of
products.”
“The Ministry of Agriculture and the government have said
that there would be no deficit and in most positions everything
is all right,” Karpov noted. He added that if the embargo is
prolonged (the initial sanctions were introduced for a year with
possible prolongation), Russian specialists would find methodsto
minimize the negative consequences for the national economy.
The current restrictions are applied to meat, poultry and fish,
cheese, milk fruit and vegetables from the United States, the EU
countries, Australia, Canada and Norway. Soon after they were
introduced in August last year the nationalist party LDPR
suggested to extend the ban to food imports from nations that
have an association agreement with the EU, including Ukraine,
Moldova and Georgia, but this motion has found no support in the
Russian parliament.
