In an interview with reporters, he noted that Surkov has recently been "an individual who does not work in the presidential administration or in some other institution."
“Therefore, this is the opinion of a Russian, albeit a very competent and authoritative among politicians and political scientists,” RIA Novosti quotes Peskov.
Earlier, Surkov, in an interview with the director of the Center for Political Conjuncture Alexei Chesnakov, expressed the opinion that if the powers of the head of state are clarified in the new text of the Constitution, legal logic will lead to the need to restart the countdown of the presidential term.
According to the politician, it will be “as if another institution of the presidency”.
