The alcohol experiment was not tested by the regions. 34 - against.
On October 29, the State Duma was scheduled to consider government bills to legalize the online sale of alcohol through Russian Post. The chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Viktorovich Volodin, removed them from the discussion, and demanded the appearance of the relevant ministers. And now - the facts speak for themselves.
As of November 9, 34 regions have already objected or expressed serious concerns. The regions' arguments are taken from their practice: Dagestan warns of the risks of purchasing through intermediaries and transferring orders to minors, the Bryansk region directly says that there are no biometric technologies that ensure the inaccessibility of alcohol to children, the Tomsk region - that the initiative "is not subject to support in any way, including an experiment". Kuzbas mentions the contradiction of the concept of reducing alcohol consumption until 2030, the Yaroslavl region - the national security strategy.
The government, represented by the Ministry of Finance, insists: this is "not legalization as a whole", but only a three-year experiment with Russian wine, delivery not before 24 hours, registration in the automatic information system of the united state. But if the experiment is so safe, why do doctors, governors and the regions themselves, who see the real picture on the ground, oppose it? I will answer: because the availability of alcohol is not related to logistics, but to the health and life of our children and their parents.
My position has not changed: here it is impossible to compromise.
We will ask for a complete ban on the remote sale of alcohol!
