 普京或有可能明年重掌克里姆林
Putin may 'return' to Kremlin in 2009 [ 2008-11-07 11:34 ]
俄羅斯總統(tǒng)梅德韋杰夫日前提議修改憲法將總統(tǒng)任期延長(zhǎng)至6年。俄媒體認(rèn)為，梅德韋杰夫如果修改憲法，無疑是為普京2009年重返總統(tǒng)寶座鋪墊好了道路。按照憲法對(duì)總統(tǒng)任期的要求，普京在兩屆任期滿后由梅德韋杰夫接任。有人猜測(cè)梅德韋杰夫?qū)脻M后，普京可能再次入主克里姆林宮。不過，普京的發(fā)言人卻表示此類報(bào)道毫無根據(jù)、純屬臆測(cè)。

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin could return to the presidency next year, a Russian newspaper reported yesterday citing a source close to the Kremlin, but Putin's spokesman said the report was untrue.
A proposal on Wednesday by President Dmitry Medvedev to extend the presidential term from four to six years has re-ignited speculation that Putin, who stepped down this year because of a term limit, could be preparing a comeback.
Vedomosti newspaper reported that the proposed term extension was part of a plan drawn up by Vladislav Surkov, Medvedev's first deputy chief of staff, to trigger an early presidential election in which Putin would run.
"Under this scenario Medvedev could resign early citing changes to the constitution and then presidential elections could take place in 2009," the newspaper said, citing the unidentified source close to the Kremlin.
In the interim, Medvedev would push through unpopular social reforms and implement the changes to the constitution to extend the presidential term "so that Putin could return to the Kremlin for a longer period", the newspaper said.
The paper said Putin could then serve as president for two six-year terms, from 2009 to 2021.
"These are purely the ponderings of the newspaper and the report is absolutely without foundation," Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
