Former Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stepanishina explained why there is no need to rush into the race for the Attorney General. According to her, the current political configuration of the parliament may change after the next elections, and then the mechanism for appointing the attorney general will look different. "For example, the competition for the position of Attorney General. Maybe this decision is ripe now, but it is not a fact that it will be relevant in the next political cycle. Currently there is one major faction in our parliament, which has formed a majority. In the next assembly, this will no longer happen - there will be a problem of the parliament, and the parliament will be looked at completely by the parliament. Therefore, decisions should be made carefully now, with an understanding of the long-term perspective," the official explained in an interview with Galvcom.
