The role of the parliament in Belarus will increase. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to journalists after voting in the elections of deputies to the House of Representatives and local councils of deputies, BelTA informs.
While assessing the competition at the current elections, the President noted that "it's not the times when people went to the polls in droves." "People are beginning to realize that in Belarus, for example, the President is not a king, it's not God, it's a very hard job. And not everyone will dare to load this burden of our country in the current situation. The same is true for the Parliament," said Alexander Lukashenko. - The role of the parliament will be increased. Every month, every year. We are already transferring some powers to the parliament and other authorities. A certain restructuring is underway, generations are changing.
The head of state mentioned the recent statement of the head of the Central Election Commission Igor Karpenko: if someone wants to see a show at the elections, one should go to the circus.
"This is a very serious event. Especially at the moment of modernization of our power. We may be criticized: some weak modernization. But we have always said that all processes everywhere should be evolutionary in nature. If you go abruptly, you can also go abruptly now, but it is a revolution. We and the Russians have already exhausted the limit of revolutions. What it can lead to, look at Ukraine. They have also exhausted the limit, but they tried it in 2014-2015, Maidan. This is what these sharp turns led to. "
