another enemy group has gained a foothold and is moving even further, because they want to build on their success and take as much as possible with one attack, with one assault. russian artillery is destroying enemy positions, the state duma is also completing its autumn session, today is the last plenary meeting of this year , now there is a live broadcast from okhotny ryad. and if we talk about lawmaking, then our result is the number of laws adopted... in 2023, we adopted 694 laws, this figure speaks for itself, the indicator this is a large quantitative indicator, but most importantly, a qualitative indicator; we must admit that our specialized committees have begun to work better. the quality of laws has not only increased,

the most important thing is that we are increasingly based on feedback from our voters, we are starting from the problem, our committee leaders and deputies began to use their right given by the constitution to discuss these problems at the beginning of the meeting, and then we, together with the government... began to feel our responsibility and offer decision, insist on them, conduct a dialogue , in the end we come to the adoption of laws, there have been a lot of such examples over this past year, and the fact that today we are discussing issues of prices, the price of fuel was discussed before, now prices... for food

, this also speaks of other high-quality work of parliament, while when we discuss this issue, we do not abdicate responsibility, shifting it to the government, to the ministry, but share it, and this is also correct, because in accordance with new provisions of the constitution, the duma appoints ministers, deputy prime ministers. and this means that we together bear responsibility for the situation in the country. the duma should be on the country's development agenda. and in this regard, i would like to express my gratitude for the fact that the heads of the committees, understanding this approach, began to structure their work based on this principle. the president identified six key tasks for 2023. accordingly, the relevant

committees began to work out issues of legislative support, achieving these goals, solving these problems, and if not object, it would be right for us to sum up the results of this work, because they are like nothing better and will probably tell more objectively about how each committee worked, how the state duma worked as a whole, because it depends on us if the law does not accepted, it is clear that the task cannot be solved and the goal cannot be achieved, therefore the first task, which was outlined among the six, is the strengthening of technological sovereignty and the growth of manufacturing. industry. for 10 years, our

country has been in a situation of sanctions and counteraction to trade wars. if you count today, the number of sanctions announced against our state is unprecedented. 17,937 sanctions. not in a relationship yet.

as they said, they would tear it to shreds, in fact they achieved that it hit them like a boomerang, the economy of the united states of america sank. germany, france, britain , and the russian economy has become number one in europe, we are among the five largest economies in the world, this is the result of the work, including the parliamentary corps, and colleagues, we discussed the constitution with you, of course, it is necessary to analyze, of course, it is necessary to consider all its norms. from the point of view of efficiency, the role here, especially of the opposition factions , is undoubtedly, because when there is competition, when there is healthy criticism, an objective analysis, we have the opportunity to take you to change something, improve it, but

undoubtedly, colleagues, one thing, throughout the last time, a decision was made... allowed the president to create a political system that turned out to be very effective, the situation was challenging, it balanced our country, kept us from different things, protected from various cataclysms, because it is difficult to even imagine if we... were faced with such challenges either in the nineties, or even in the eighties, because the challenges of those years, even smaller ones, led to the collapse of the soviet union and huge problems for our

citizens that they endured in the nineties, today's political system has survived, it has ensured the protection of people, but... you and i see what results our country has, so when we talk to you about the results, they are already tangible, let's finish with economic growth of 3.5%, this is a very good indicator given the challenges and opposition that exist, well, colleagues, it would be correct when we talk about... our technological development to emphasize that this growth is ensured by industries such as transport , construction, housing and communal services, services, industrial production, which

vladimirovich putin said yesterday, the manufacturing industry is showing growth of 7.5%, this is a very serious indicator, again, results. work of the government, the state duma, under the leadership president, i would like to emphasize that we worked as one coherent team, achieving our goals and achieving these results, colleagues, we could list the laws that we adopted, there are many of them, if you take it... it was the laws in this part that were adopted there are twenty -one of them, so all this made it possible to form a legislative space; our industries have shown their effectiveness.

the second priority outlined by the president is ensuring financial sovereignty; we spoke, colleagues, about the work of our specialized committees, but it would be correct to thank everyone in general. who worked effectively in this direction, within the framework of which 33 bills were adopted, this is a lot of work, very responsible, i will separately note the law on the digital ruble, it is also very important that you and i managed to form a mechanism for long-term long-term savings, guarantees of our long-term savings...

is switching to payments in national currencies, our president also spoke about this yesterday, and if we compare what happened in the twenty- second and... september 2023, undoubtedly there is progress, in the twenty-second year our currency from unfriendly states accounted for about 96% in mutual settlements, and already in september of this year it was 24%. we need to continue this work, this is a contribution to protecting ours. sovereignty and financial independence, in a word, we can

evaluate, it was, it became, and this is also the work of legislators, because all this activity is based on the legal framework, the third task is outpacing the development of infrastructure, in general, colleagues, this is the direction that has recently shows very good results, and here... we must note the work of our comrades in the government of the russian federation, the work of our specialized committees, if last year 102.7 million km were completed, then this year we reach a result of 104 million, you know, this concerns not only statistical reporting data, but when we talk about square...

40 bills were adopted, this is serious work, both by the specialized and the committees of co-executors, so the result is noticeable. fourth priority: growth of real wages , increase in the minimum wage. by decision of the president, from january 2024 mrod will be increased by 18.5%.

is aimed at the social sphere, this is our time, a time of challenges, every third ruble is a priority, and despite the problems, challenges, all social guarantees are not only fulfilled, but they are significantly expanded, and colleagues, this is the merit of the deputy corps, this is our work with the government, with the regions, and of course the support... of the president, because we sometimes discuss the issue with the government, but we don’t see understanding or don’t see support, we contact to the president, in this regard, we are lucky that the state duma has a constant dialogue with the president, each political faction conducts it, each faction leader can discuss the issue with the president in a working manner. sometimes it’s harder to get through to a minister or governor than to get through to the president, this is a decision

made literally, recently, when we finally came to the conclusion of waiving bank fees when paying for utilities. our citizens, yesterday the president emphasized that they are definitely exempt from this commission there will be pensioners, and you and i have just determined in the law that help should...

labor lessons in schools, all these are requests from citizens, when we talk about the problems that concern people, you and i have passed a bill that gives the regions the right to regulate the activities of liqueurs , which worries people, considering that all this is in residential buildings, in residential areas, somewhere there is noise, somewhere there are fights because of this, and of course... the very presence of such establishments in a residential building does not bring anything good, here aleksandrevich einstein spoke at one time the initiator of the adoption of this law , you and i transferred powers to the regions, but now we see that these powers are clearly not enough, based on feedback, we prepared amendments, and there is a long process

of agreeing on these norms of amendments with the government, but in the end we reached an understanding, the bill is in the first reading . adopted, next year it is on our priority agenda, we will definitely return to it at the beginning of our work, we will come to the adoption and transfer of all necessary powers to the regions so that we can ask, our colleagues in the regional legislative assemblies must restore order in this area, so that our citizens can relax at home, and children can calmly go out and play in the yard on playgrounds, without encountering those who come out of these zero lanes drunk condition, this once again indicates that we have chosen the right work strategy, the legislative initiative, which has become a law, does not remain unattended, and we accompany it,

we proceed from the fact that there must be a result, we evaluate it by the law itself. adopted, yes, it is important, but still it is more important that the problem is solved through the adoption of this law, and this is how we must evaluate our work, the effectiveness of this work. colleagues, this, if you like, is a new stage, including in our activities, and it would be right for us to use these very approaches more and more.

managers are responsible for this area, they literally consider problems around the clock, monitor, actively promote these topics, and if there is a problem, i must say that, well, hardly anyone else can more effective than they solve, because they live by this and much has already been achieved during this time - to do so that existing issues are resolved, to take the same initiative, which also found the support of the president, and we... this legislative initiative with you implemented, we are talking about supporting our young mothers who are thinking about how to stay in

the profession, are going to receive the payments they are entitled to, the adopted law solved this problem, and even if the mother goes to work before she is one and a half years old, the benefits are retained, this... very serious achievement, including in matters of social security, social protection - of our young mothers, we actually have a lot of such issues, this is the issue of maternal capital, if the federal budget provides for the payment of a single social benefit to 10 million citizens of our country more than 4.4 trillion rubles. another 1.6 for the provision of maternity capital, more than 482 billion rubles for programs to improve housing provision

for families with children, for free hot meals for children in primary schools, 73 billion rubles each every year, sometimes they talk about the experience of china, our colleagues and i, while in china, went to a school and saw how it works... a school, an elementary school, we were there specifically, but colleagues, children have paid meals, but we have free meals for primary schools , despite the fact that today china is the first economy in the world, then if we talk about education, high school is paid, our education is free, if we talk about higher school, we have free education, some are paid, and there is a paid education, therefore, when we discuss some innovation or we have our own history, we have our own

traditions, we have our own culture, we have our own values, we have our own faith, we need to take and build our own development path on this basis, borrowing better and better .

we managed to establish direct contacts with the african continent, conclude agreements, and today

our deputies, ivan ivanovich melnikov, first deputy of the state duma, are working very effectively in these areas, coordinating this work babakov, alexander mikhailovich, deputy chairman of the state duma, today, by the way, is in china, and it would be correct to say words of gratitude to lenidarovich slutsky to chair the committee on international. to iran and other countries, including vietnam and mongolia, these are all countries we visited, and of course to our friends.

within the framework of the cis we went to turkey, but here we seem to be finishing our work today within the framework of the plenary session format, and from next week the organization of a collective security treaty will be held by the parliamentary assembly next week, we will have a meeting of the belarusian-russian parliament within the framework of the union state. but we will also work with you next week within the framework of the council of legislators, because dialogue within the country is extremely important to us, so colleagues, when they talk about politics, when they talk about vacations, sometimes, well, in general the term vacations has gone away, you and i have started to let go different, because those who are not going to be elected

next time think about graduation. politicians don’t have vacations, so summing up the year, we need more let me just say that our main responsibility is to work in our constituencies, yes, work in committees is important, work at plenary sessions is important, as a deputy, as a legislator, but the main work is in electoral circles.

legislative council, but one thing is certain: our support is our citizens, our voters, we are responsible to them, they evaluate our work. i wish you happiness, health, success, good luck in the new year, and colleagues, i want to emphasize once again that holidays are not for deputies, this is more and more. becomes the norm of life we see it by the number of people leaving, and we see it by how...
