On Monday, Crimean Prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya wrote a statement on being released from her position.
“Today I wrote a statement in order to be
relieved of my duties as Prosecutor of the Republic of Crimea in connection
with my election to State Duma,” RIA Novosti quotes Poklonskaya’s statement.
According to her, her statement has already been
sent to the General Prosecutor of the Russian Federation. “Insofar as I’ve already been elected a State Duma deputy, my
powers are suspended and I am exempt from the duties of Prosecutor of the
Republic of Crimea and an moving onto my elected office. My experience as a
prosecutor will be kept, but I will work and fulfill my duties as a deputy, as
this is an elected post,” Poklonskaya explained.
At a congress of the United Russia party on June
27th, Russian Prime Minister and party chairman Dmitry Medvedev proposed to
include Poklonskaya in the list of candidates for the State Duma. The Crimean
prosecutor, in turn, reported that she would be ready to go to work in the
lower house of parliament if elected.
The next day, in an interview with Moslente,
Poklonskaya stated that, if elected, her priority in State Duma work would be
people and their problems, including those of the residents of Crimea.
Later, Russian President Vladimir Putin specified
that, if Poklonskaya were elected a deputy, her priorities would include the
construction of roads, control over the flow of public funds, and the
restoration of cultural monuments.
