"The draft of the new Constitution responds to people's requests" - Mikhail Orda, Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus, said.
- Our country is not simply young, it is absolutely young. A quarter of a century is a very short period in historical development. But during this time, on the basis of the current Constitution, we managed to build the foundations of our state, lay the foundation for the further development of independent Belarus.
But today it's time to move on. And the Constitution, of course, should reflect the needs that exist in the society today. That is why, a decision was made on the need to reform the basic law of the country at the All-Belarusian People's Assembly in February this year.
Of course, the work on the Constitution is a collegial work. Therefore, legal, practical and creative approaches must be combined here.
The changes were discussed by a lot of people: lawyers, legislators, as well as representatives of labor collectives, the youth, public associations.
What are the results of the discussions? What is the most important thing for people today? This is the independence of our state, the maintenance of peace and stability, the stability of the state, state institutions, the improvement of social guarantees and opportunities for human development.
The draft of the new fundamental Law of the country is aimed at ensuring all these needs of the people. At the same time, it is important to understand how the changes will work in practice. A balanced and accurate approach is needed here, because any norm of the Constitution must be subsequently implemented in legislation. The most important principle is not to harm: neither people nor the state as a whole.
Of course, in the future, the prepared draft of the Constitution will be brought forward for national discussion. After that, the document will be submitted to a referendum, where the final decision will be made directly by the citizens,” said Mikhail Orda, Chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus.
