Mishustin supported the idea of freezing food prices
"The Prime Minister agreed with almost everything that was proposed by the faction. This also applies to restrictions on prices for medicines, food and other essential goods. This concerns issues related to supporting businesses, employers, medium - sized and small businesses in terms of tax holidays and the introduction of deferred payment of rental payments", said Hinstein.
Earlier, the leader of the faction Sergey Neverov said that the deputies during a meeting with Mishustin proposed to the Cabinet to work out a mechanism for freezing prices for products, similar to how it was already done for medical goods and medicines. The maximum margin for each stage of the "commodity distribution chain" should be limited to 10%, believes the head of the Duma deputies of “United Russia”.
Mishustin also supported the proposal of the faction “United Russia” to provide financial assistance to the regions that are taking the brunt in the fight against coronavirus, said Hinstein.
According to the parliamentarian, the head of the Cabinet agreed "with almost everything that was proposed by the faction". "This also applies to aid, financial support for the regions that are taking the brunt of it today, and support for doctors and medical professionals", Hinstein said.
The Deputy added that “United Russia” deputies also supported the adjustment of existing state programs and national projects. "They can't be completed on time, and with the indicators that were originally set", he stressed.
Next week, Hinstein specified, it is planned to hold a plenary session of the lower house of Parliament to legislate on "priority, urgent issues". "In this regard, the government has been asked to speed up the preparation of such initiatives as much as possible", he said. One plenary session is tentatively scheduled, and the Duma Council must make a final decision on the schedule of parliamentarians on Thursday, concluded the deputy of “United Russia”.
On April 3, the government approved the allocation of inter-budget transfers worth more than 5 billion rubles to the regions to support doctors involved in the fight against coronavirus.
