Sensible criticism, alternative views, openness and honesty. That's how the delegates on the sidelines characterize the work of the republican platform. Of course, attention was also paid to what has been done in previous years. But the main focus is our life tomorrow. What kind of Belarus will be? What will we be like?
The major guideline is the possibility for Belarusians to live, work and develop. Our main goal is an opportunity for Belarusians to live, to work and to develop. Social orientation is sacred for Belarus. It is suggested to direct more efforts to healthcare at all levels, as well as to support large families.
Salaries, pensions, education, development... Of course, everything depends on the economy. The state sees the problems and works to solve them. Alexander Lukashenko noted that economy does not tolerate revolutions. We need to evolve, open more enterprises and jobs, invest in the development of industries. Major industrial clusters are planned for the next five years. The main thing is to create opportunities for the Belarusians to earn.
Belarus should remain a presidential republic.
There was a big (and expected) talk about the work on the new Constitution. At the same time, there was talk about the party-building. The President is convinced that Belarus should remain a presidential republic. The country undoubtedly needs political parties, but the society is not mature for the elections by party lists. Everything should be done gradually.
Dozens of the most important topics and hot issues. Foreign and domestic policy. The President's speech was interrupted about 40 times by applause - the words touched everyone in the hall.
It was not a monologue at all. The head of state urged the participants to have an open discussion. In addition to the report from the President, there were thirteen more, and proposals from the audience. Everyone is equal in front of each other on this stage, from a minister, to a representative of local government, to a company director, a student or a farmer.
There were a lot of disputes and insinuations around the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, pressure on the organizers and delegates. Practice has shown that it is only a question of the desire to be heard. All who wished to take part in the People's dialogue, irrespective of political views, were invited. The forum decisions will be reflected in the draft resolution.
