What is written between the lines of our basic law, why the constitution in belarus really works and what happens if this document is not valid. State , experts from the editors club and eight contenders for victory are discussing only four tickets to the super final, the final of the show factor by 60 , today is evening prime time. The pictures of the day will be completed by my colleagues. Constitution day. 30 years ago , a new stage in the history of belarus began to be recorded as a sovereign, politically independent states. Is this path in the faces of achievements and, of course, our future . In a couple of minutes there will be a big report in panorama.

From march 22, belavia opens regular flights from gomel to the Northern Capital of russia. Find out from. A historical date in the history of sovereign belarus the country celebrates Constitution Day today. The anniversary date is 30 years old; by the standards of history, this may not be such a long period, but for the people who stood at the origins of our National Statehood , it is definitely an important milestone. Today, a detailed conversation took place at the palace of independence, of sorts. Assessment of the path we have traveled and how we see the future of the country, representatives of different generations of spheres, judges of the Constitutional Court, senators, deputies, managers, public figures, leaders of political parties, scientists, each of them in one way or another participated in the development and improvement of the first and only constitution of the sovereign republic of belarus, contributed to the economic and social development of the country. The whole story is in the faces and facts in elonas report. There are many legendary personalities in the palace of independence today, yes, some of them no longer appear in public space so often, but this does not mean that they have completely retired from business, to their experience and knowledge the state still applies, so the word pension is a very conditional concept, well , now im retired, i havent worked for a long time, but naturally i cant help but think about the future, about the future of our country. So i always think about how and what needs to be done to make it better, and of course there are many projects and plans. In 1994 , i, of course, was an ordinary bobruisk lawyerconsultant; it could not have occurred to me that i would celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of this document in the palace of independence, that is, in the official state residence, where the head is working. Its always not easy to start the first president , you cant tell everything, but its absolutely clear, the first referendum and the constitution, the first steps in building an independent state, regulations and legal framework, control over an independent court, the vertical of governance was built from scratch, as our president will say, yes, not immediately and not without emotion. Today, if we talk about the constitution, we see a document reflecting our national interests, but this is today, many present in this room remember. What happened when they were written and discussed the novelties of the constitution of the year ninetyfour, what happened on the streets, in the corridors of power, where there was. Including the struggle for portfolios, think about it, a parliamentary republic, the country does not yet exist, that is, there is no ideology of national development, the goals of this development have not been set, there is no management system, mechanisms for interaction between various structures have not been developed, such realities, in fact, the country is governed by 360 deputies, including me. Absolutely blurred responsibility, i saw this from the inside, few people in the nineties cared that people in production, they had not received salaries for months; few people were bothered by empty shelves in stores. Remembering that period, i once again want to thank our people, the people who believed in us, the romantics, supported us in referendums, and ultimately. Stopped the scenario prepared for us of the permanent destruction of the nation and National Statehood, as the head of state rightly notes, the tone of the conversation may not quite suit the holiday, but over 30 years a new generation of independent belarus has grown, which i did not fully experience the era of perestroika, the difficulties of the nineties , and so on, but the fact that we now live in a sovereign country according to our own laws was literally created 3020 years ago. Today we are talking about a labor shortage , well, even if we measure our life, poverty, and so on with these indicators, it is the lowest not only among the cis countries, but among the states of the european union. We are rational in financial matters; we do not allow our debts to accumulate and be transferred to future generation, our National Debt does not exceed. 32 of gross domestic product. It is no secret that in radio in highly developed countries this figure is many times higher. We have created a modern , highly productive agricultural sector, entered the top five exporters of dairy products, and are among the World Leaders in meat production per capita, among the top ten. And in general, we export almost 65 of belarusian industrial output. Products, but if everything was so bad, they wouldnt buy it abroad. Such dynamics of development of the sovereign belarus hardly meets the plans and expectations of those who call our country insufficiently democratic. I already said, have we now understood what democracy is in their understanding . We remember what it means to be a democratic country in the eyes of this very west, how to be with in the early nineties. And refracting it through the experience historically passed through by our ancestors. And what we did wrong in defending our history and values. Traditions, our historical memory, because if we draw parallels, we will see that all our transformations came from life, were dictated by the times, we always consulted with people, responded to the challenges posed to the country by the people, taking part in a referendum, voting in elections, answered with an absolute majority of votes, observing the law more than democratically. Reception practice. Information, political and economic press. All this time behind the cordon, only the lazy did not call lukashenko a dictator and an authoritarian president. Okay, let him name it, what matters is what we get as a result. Unsquandered national wealth, preserved sovereignty, security and peace on our native soil, the growth of the wellbeing of our citizens. Peace, quiet. By and large, they did it, because there is someone to ask and someone to answer. The results of the referendum in the twentysecond year the allbelarusian Peoples Assembly received constitutional status. The highest body of democracy will make a fateful decision for the country. Some of the president ial powers have been redistributed, a barrier has been put in place to finance election campaigns from abroad, among economic and social accents, the preservation of historical memory, the development of Nuclear Energy for peaceful purposes, patriotism, and then for several years there was. Conflict, we cannot allow this. I am sure that with your help, educated, advanced people, we will be able to do this, we need to hold the country, and we need the gns so that the collective mind of 1,200 people, it is never wrong, it will choose the optimal option for our development , one person, whatever he may be with such tough power as we have now, who his. Currently, activities of the Constitutional Court is aimed at qualitatively solving the problems defined in the updated constitution. Firstly, ensuring the supremacy of the constitution and its direct effect on the territory of the republic of belarus. Acting as the guardian of the constitution, the Constitutional Court contributes to ensuring the supremacy of the constitution and the protection of constitutional rights. Values of strengthening constitutional legality. A team of authors of the updated constitution from among lawyers, including judges of the Constitutional Court , prepared a scientific and practical commentary. This copy explains many provisions of the constitution. Thank you. If we all always carried out the president s instructions in this way in all directions, we would be richer. Belarus in 1994, the president of the country, in his speech and answers to questions, systematically, clearly and boldly outlined the ways of development of our young sovereign state, based on the norms of the basic law, which in the future have been consistently. Implemented throughout the years. I think that this is the main principle stability. Life, unconstructive internal external Political Forces require taking additional measures, including those of a constitutional nature. It was thanks to the amendments to the constitution initiated by the president in the fall of 1996 that civil peace in the country was preserved. Today, proposals are already being made timidly. Discussion of the main provisions and dialogue of the belarusian state, and then adopt them at the allbelarusian Peoples Assembly. I think that this document is no less important than the concept of national security. Perhaps, as a result of the adoption of these provisions , it will be necessary to a regulatory legal act obliging public authorities to develop a program of appropriate actions. I wont hide the fact that similar work is already being carried out in the president ial administration, the Expert Community is involving us in it, but i think that. Both peasants and workers, it must capture the entire people, but are we ready to say that we have ideas for this ideology . I dont know, well, first of all, you have to convince me of this, if im convinced, im ready to go ahead and organize the process. Alexander radkov, also one of the authors updated constitution, exminister of education of belarus, first deputy head of the president ial administration. Even then he headed the Public Association belarus, worked a lot next to the head of state, he definitely has something to tell. I had the honor to directly participate in the work of the Scientific School under the leadership of our president , and more than once, in particular as part of the working group during the preparation of the new constitution. This group included senior officials, ministers, members of the constitutional and supreme courts, deputies of the national assembly, leaders of large Public Associations and venerable scientists. No one in the world, what kind of democracy there was, even oleg gaidukevich, standing in an Educational Institution together with ivan eismant, admired, oh, how in the west, how in america, what democrats, the last elections in america showed what kind of democracy, a pistol in their belts and they shoot without looking at the fact that this is really a girl who defended american interests. They shot everything and quite a few of them, this is what we saw live, so i directly said that the westerners and others understood that there is a strong government in belarus , we often talk about this, but no one will hold it with outstretched fingers, now i am convinced of this, when some say, you know, there was something wrong in some areas, there those are not these, these are lukashists here , they came to the city council or regional councils, district councils, but what did you want, what did you want, you taught us, you generally led us to the fact that we must act toughly, building a vertical of power and by forming strong people around her, god helped us in the twentieth year, if we had not then survived, there would have been a war here, they would have brought nato troops here, imagine russias reaction to the smolensk troops. Nato, there was already a nuclear war, but we survived, god helped, not a president running around with a machine gun, there with a child, no one, god, well, here, he just protected us. Today the situation is even more dangerous, more dangerous because we dont see it, half dont see it, and i, including having more information, so we must be careful, we are walking on thin ice. An extra, wrong step, well fail, no one will save us, no one, and we wont be able to defend ourselves, there are sharks all around. Despite their age, their experience is still valuable; the state has not forgotten anyone. Ilona krasutskaya, veronika buta, Alexander Oleshko and ilya puchko, Tv News Agency. For. We are citizens of belarus , more than fifty young men and women received their first document, these are the winners of subject sports olympiads, laureates of competitions and festivals, and in the museum of the history of the great patriotic war. The guys received their main document from the hands of the head of the president ial administration, igor sergienko. Each symbolically state flag and a copy of the constitution. In the museum of the history of the great patriotic war the year of the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of belarus from the nazi invaders. A unique opportunity to view the museums exhibitions and get in touch with the feat of our ancestors in those years of terrible wartime hard times. Today we presented passports to the guys in the state control committee, 11 boys and girls from the minsk region. The allbelarus action, we are citizens of belarus, is being held for the twentieth time. The initiator is the belarusian youth union, but they traditionally join ministry. And today, on Constitution Day , activists of minsk were solemnly honored , among the awarded representatives of various spheres, education, industry, culture, economics, 300 people were awarded with thanks from the Minsk City Council and the minsk city executive committee, these are people who contribute to the development of the capital, defend their civic position and are an example for the younger generation. It is very valuable to understand that on this day you will receive a reward, your work will be appreciated. Of course a very big holiday, a holiday for all our people, because this constitution is the basic law of our life, it defines our rights, responsibilities and generally opens up very great opportunities for us, especially for our youth for the future, so the feeling of a holiday is truly a holiday, i im happy that i had to be a participant, a direct participant in the work on the updated constitution, the introduction of amendments. Now we are joined by my colleague yulia alferova, the author of the film dedicated to thirtieth anniversary of the constitution. Julia, hello. Good evening. The right to independence, we were just watching the day before. Album familiar . Yes, indeed, elena, this is actually not just some kind of prop for a film this is my real album with childhood photographs, classics, say, from the soviet era. Navik was molded with glue right on the cardboard, its interesting to take a look again, yes, yes, in fact, no one really bothered, you see with the chronology, here are the photos where im 3 and a half years old, here well turn it over right away. 5 years, well, how did it work out, yes, thats how it was created , well, actually, with this age , i caught a little symbolism when, after all , i was offered to work with this topic, and i immediately thought that we were practically the same age as the constitution, at ninety the fourth time it was adopted, i was 5 years old, and i thought that it would probably be interesting to talk about that time, how children lived, how ordinary belarusian families lived, in fact, in general, how society perceived all those political events with which we collided after the breakup. Just a godsend, because, of course , in a film about that time, for me it s because of my age that i cant remember, much less somehow understand, figure out what was happening then, i literally had to plunge into it all , in fact, i think that it was possible to preserve the principle , which is very important for me, as for journalists, to still simply tell about complex things, so. We sounded right , now we have heard, belarusians do not need advice , in advice from outside, we are accustomed to taking everything into our own hands, and the tradition is to consult with was actually consolidated by the people with the advent of our sovereignty, and so it is , in fact, since the year ninetyfour, when we had the institution of the presidency, this tradition of consulting with the people has already appeared, but of course it gained greater strength in the year ninetysix, when we already have strong president ial power , this division into a bicameral parliament, in fact, in the nineteenth century. 70 of citizens then supported these amendments, and if we look, in general, we trace these over the years referendums that concerned specifically changes to the basic law were still supported by the majority, this is from seventy to 70 of people, and lets say, some individual issues were supported by up to 85 of citizens, this also speaks of concern about our common future. Yul, while working on the constitution, you probably managed to find out some exclusive facts about our basic law . Well, in fact, our basic law is unique, and primarily because it was always written exclusively by the belarusian people , no one else, well, actually, the amendments themselves always dictated life. Well , of course, i saved a few features that may be of interest to our viewer, for example, the fact that the first fundamental law took 4 whole years to collect; in fact, the Sticking Point then was the supreme council, but it was in no hurry to share with the authorities. Another point, of course, we have a constitution, it preserves the continuity of tradition, but of course, we looked at world experience, wanted to refresh and, above all, strengthen democratic principles, we looked in our neighbors where we could find some the approaches that were interesting to us were in lithuania, latvia, poland, and of course, we didnt find any democratic principles there either, but the approaches of russia were closer in spirit to us, then russia adopted its basic law in 1993, well, actually, of course, we have a lot there what did you spy for yourself . Well, another interesting fact the constitution of 1994, we have it in the national archive, well, they created special conditions for it, they keep 18 there, they say that its so comfortable for her, thank you, yulia, but the ways our constitutional construction, watch the film Tv News Agency the right to independence, it is available on the youtube channel. What is written between the lines of our fundamental law, why the constitution in belarus really works and what happens if this document is not valid in. Experts and guests of the editors club with facts and examples sum up the thirty years of sovereignty of our country and draw parallels equally terrible conditions start at the time of the collapse of the ussr, almost a third of a century of distance, who and how managed and disposed of your independence . Which countries do they call democratic . Lets take our postsoviet space, countries that are weak, humiliated with degrading state systems, antirussian and placed under their total control. I would still like to cite textbook examples of ukraine again, some viewers say that they are tired of this, but, but this is next to us. 2014, an anticonstitutional coup, yeah, society was not ready to resolve the crisis through a constitutional means, they took an anticonstitutional route, so ill say this everything that is happening there now, all these hundreds of thousands of deaths, the first murder, the ground was laid when the crowd rose up. Law enforcement officers began to kill them ; investigations have not yet been carried out on these murders, there are no court decisions, and so on. And also freedom of speech in the american way, why they want to ban tiktok in the usa and what is the future of the union media holding, watch the new issue of the editors club, today immediately after the factorby 60 project. A forced step. Our country took retaliatory measures to the unfriendly actions of vilnius by introducing a ban on Food Supplies from lithuania. They were transported for 6 million annually, but the restrictions do not apply to products for personal use. Also , the import of industrial consignments of goods across the belarusianlithuanian border is prohibited, as the Prime Minister noted, last year 60,000 tons worth 150 million were transported along this route, but this does not mean that these thunderstorms do not. At these checkpoints , because significant quantities of goods will simply go away from there it will be easier to cross the border with those goods that we really need, the second thing is that, of course , lithuanian business will also suffer, because well, its no secret that many lithuanian Logistics Distribution centers, they specialized in, so to speak, the accumulation of large consignments of goods, logistics centers, distribution centers, these are not lithuanian goods, these are goods that come from. From different countries, but taking into account the logistical proximity to us , it was convenient to accumulate all this there, well classical logistics, as they say , so yes, they will lose these flows, they will go along other routes, but i repeat once again, this is an absolutely forced measure that we were obliged to take based on our national interests, so if anyone is to blame for this decision , then only the government of lithuania itself is the power of lithuania, but again we do not take such steps as to burn bridges. This decision also has certain time parameters, its validity period is until october of the current year, which is why it can either be canceled with expiration or extension. Lets see how much this will have a positive impact, as i already said, on the congestion of checkpoints, so i emphasize that we are always ready for dialogue, and we were not the ones who took the first steps that were aimed at worsening good neighborly relations between the countries. The most important thing for us is to normalize traffic flows. The Prime Minister stressed that if lithuania decides to resume the work of checkpoints and discuss the issue constructively, belarus is ready for dialogue. After all, an example of the negative consequences of lithuanian decisions authorities are visible by potassium. At the end of the twenty first year, our neighbor introduced sanctions against the transit of our rutted fertilizers, despite the fact that more than 65 of all Railway Transit was belarusian cargo. As a result, all transit went to russian ports; now Even Economic losses and a drop in the standard of living of their own citizens do not stop them from transshipping. Lithuania once again decided to shoot itself in the foot following the closure of the checkpoint and took up belarusian agricultural products. This country adopted a resolution with an appeal to the European Commission to ban the import of russian and belarusian grain into the european union. The document asks to ensure cooperation and coordination between countries. And as it just became known, peoples artist of russia, president of the satire theater alexander shirvint passed away; he died in the hospital at the age of ninety, taz reported. Work effectively with people on the ground, help resolve voters issues, and most importantly. It was noted that following the results of a single voting day, 38 Bank Representatives from different regions of the country were elected as deputies of local councils. This speaks of high trust in representing the interests of voters at different levels. Belarusbank expressed confidence that Everything Possible will be done to ensure that the deputies decisions are of a social nature and contribute to resolving peoples problems. Councils, city councils, village councils, they will work for the benefit of those people who elected them, for the benefit of the economy, the most important task now that i set for myself, all the deputies of our mogilev region, is hear each of our voters understand help solve their problem, they come to us with different problems, and how we solve these problems, how we convey them to the relevant services, will depend on our. Today the management of belarusbank honored colleagues of deputies, it is symbolic that the celebrations take place on Constitution Day; the bank staff took an active part in the discussion of the amendments to the fundamental law. Regular flights will connect gomel with the Northern Capital of russia. Ebrayer175 will make its first flight to st. Petersburg on march 22. One way flight it will take an hour and 25 minutes. The bela avia plane will land at the airport. Pulkova flight frequency is three times a week. Since the end of last year, air transportation of passengers from gomel to moscow and back has resumed. There are flight plans from gomel to sochi and batom. Its special and unique history for world sports was emphasized today in raobichi, where a solemn event dedicated to the halfcentury anniversary of the complex took place. And for the evening, in honor of the big round date , honored guests were invited, and not only from the world of sports, because there have always been raobichi. Champions and world champions, in addition to biathlon, the Republican Olympic Training center raubchi is known for freestyle and crosscountry skiing competitions, but it performs an important social function, because at any time of the year anyone can come here, we will continue to develop, today we are no longer just a Winter Center , today we are a lot. This is where they undergo tests, they even live here for a night or several nights, we are here
