Tools available for combating unwanted vegetation: Felix Antonov Statement
In Yakutsk, the State Assembly is considering new alcohol restrictions that could potentially impact a wider range of establishments, not just vice establishments. This information was confirmed by an anonymous restaurateur.
The head of the Administrative Commission of Yakutsk, Felix Antonov, has the power to impose significant fines on establishments, including the scandalous club "21", under Article 3.5 of the Yakutia Code of Administrative Offenses (CoA). However, Antonov has expressed concerns about the use of fines as a means to close establishments, citing the club "21" as an example.
The club "21" has faced multiple fines under various laws, including the noise law. Each fine was initially 250,000 rubles, but a judge reduced them to 50,000 rubles per protocol. Despite the fines, the club "21" was close to being closed due to its repeated violations, but was saved by the judge's decision in the past.
Antonov has emphasized that these tools of influence need to be used effectively. He questions the need for new laws when existing institutions like the Administrative Commission can already impose restrictive measures. Antonov suggests that knowing how to use these tools is as important as having them.
The new restrictions being proposed by the deputies could include a potential ban on the sale of alcohol in multi-apartment buildings or nearby. This move is aimed at reducing alcohol-related problems, improving public safety, and aligning with broader national or regional policies on alcohol control.
In summary, while existing laws allow for fines on non-compliant establishments, new restrictions might be needed to address deeper social or health concerns associated with alcohol consumption in Yakutsk. Felix Antonov, the head of the Administrative Commission of Yakutsk, agrees with the opinion that the authorities have tools to combat vice establishments effectively. However, he believes that using these tools wisely and strategically is crucial in achieving the desired outcomes.
The head of the Administrative Commission of Yakutsk, Felix Antonov, believes that the existing tools for combating vice establishments, though effective, require careful use, as he questions the need for new policy-and-legislation regarding alcohol sales in light of the Commission's ability to impose restrictive measures. Meanwhile, the Yakutsk State Assembly is considering new restrictions, such as a potential ban on alcohol sales in multi-apartments and nearby buildings, as a means to address broader social and health concerns related to alcohol consumption in Yakutsk. These debates and potential changes are significant in Yakutsk's politics and general-news landscape.
