Constitutional changes are expected - Michustin new PM according to German paper Die Welt In view of the end of his term of office in 2024, Putin apparently does not want a strong successor. So the position of president is eroded and power shifts to the prime minister, the government and parliament. For example, under a subsequent constitution, the prime minister would not be appointed by the president, but by parliament. Perhaps the new prime minister will then become the advanced candidate for the succession of Putin as president. It is not yet clear what role Putin will play in this new constellation, but apparently he does not feel like relinquishing power. If necessary, the institutions in Russia will be adjusted. Under the current model, the prime minister must get the approval of parliament, but it is the president who appoints government ministers.

He wants to step down but be the kingmaker/power behind the throne. He wants to rule for life, but with the appearance of giving power back -- like Augustus. Brilliant really. But it is for those with a brain, also taking off the mask of democracy. |
