At the same time, Peskov found it difficult to comment on information about the “reform of power” that Dmitry Medvedev allegedly offered to President in December 2019, when he was still the head of government.

I do not know the sources of these messages, so I can not tell you anything. I don’t know where they got it from (media - ed.)

The document proposes: to fix the norm on the indexation of pensions, to fix the dependence of the minimum wage on the subsistence level, requirements for candidates for presidents and deputies, as well as a number of other changes.

He specified that the State Council, as an advisory body, and so it exists, simply the provision on it needs to be enshrined in the Constitution.

At the same time, the above working group on work on amendments, which includes Krasheninnikov, proposed making the State Council an independent body.
