Mintimer Shaimiev's nomination backed by the RT State Council Committee for economy, investments and entrepreneurship

The committee of the RT State Council for economy, investments and business at today's session by the majority of the vote supported Mintimer Shaimiev's nomination for the post of Tatarstan President presented by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.

Opening the session, Chairman of the committee Marat Galeyev emphasised that conferring authority of the RT President on Mintimer Shaimiev is a very important question. The first to express opinion on the introduced issue was deputy of the faction of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) Robert Sadykov. He once again criticised the federal law on the new procedure for conferring authority on the highest officials in the regions of the Russian Federation and called upon keeping apart from the participation in the discussion of the given issue.

The majority of the deputies supported the acting president and the present political course of the republic. Among Mintimer Shaimiev’s achievements the dynamical development of the Tatarstan economy, interethnic and inter-confessional accord were mentioned. Marat Galeyev noted that in due time had opposed the federal law on the new procedure of electing heads of subjects. «But the law is accepted, and I am obliged to execute it, and without hesitations. I am seldom pleased with decisions of the RF President but in this case I think that the republic is lucky with our president. The issue of preserving stability in multinational Tatarstan is more than only an important issue», Marat Galeyev emphasised.
