31 мая 2017

The relevant issues of employment, health, reform of the education system and the development of sports have been discussed during big debate in the Parliament. In particular, the minimum and social pensions will be adjusted in August and November to prevent a decline in people's living standards. The meeting of both houses of parliament lasted 2 hours. Deputy Prime Minister Vasily Zharko promised that pensions will be recalculated. New approaches to the payment of pensions for certain categories of servicemen are planned. But the proposals for unemployment welfare are still being discussed and have not resulted in any real document.

A few comments in the Parliament were made by the Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Shunevich. Speaking about the optimization of the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he stressed that more than 1,000 jobs had been curbed.
