Lukashenko: Belarusian People’s Congress is protective buffer against possible dangerous processes that oppose the interests of society and the state
The solution of personnel issues is an important and new task of the Belarusian People’s Congress, since its delegates will elect judges of the Constitutional and Supreme courts, members of the Central Election Commission – as stated by the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, at the 7th Belarusian People's Congress
“You have been given the right to promptly gather and make a decision on declaring a state of emergency or martial law,” the Head of State addressed those present. “God grant there will be no such a situation, but the mission is more than responsible. Even the recognition of the legitimacy of elections – all sort of them – depends on your decision. All your decisions in the hierarchy of legal acts of the country will take the highest position and become generally binding. They will have to be executed by all citizens, all bodies and institutions of government.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that the Belarusian People’s Congress had received exclusive powers to suspend the decisions of any body or official. Accordingly, the Congress will become a protective buffer against possible dangerous processes that run counter to the interests of society and the state.
