Defending the Law

On July 29, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Belarus Petr MIKLASHEVICH spoke to representatives of BSAA staff and employees of the Gorki District Executive Committee. The head of the Committee Alexander BUTAREV also took part in the meeting.

The meeting was opened by rector of the academy Vitaly VELIKANOV. Information on constitutional development in our republic was given by P.Miklashevich. In 1994, the institution of the presidency was first introduced in a young sovereign state. According to the Constitution, the President is the head not only of the state, but of the executive branch as well. Since the same year, a new body has been working in Belarus - the Constitutional Court, whose competence includes monitoring constitutional acts. After these reforms, as Petr Miklashevich said, our country was to become a presidential republic. However, the functions of the President and Parliament were not clearly defined in the Constitution, which caused disagreements. The resulting constitutional crisis was resolved in 1996 at a referendum in which amendments to the Basic Law - the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus - were adopted. More than 80% of the electorate voted for the changes proposed by the Head of the State. It was from that moment when Belarus became a republic with strong presidential power. Today, Petr Miklashevich noted, we are witnessing that, thanks to the Head of State, Belarus is dynamically developing, pursuing a peaceful foreign policy, and the Constitution stands guard over the legitimate rights and interests of its citizens.

The President of the Constitutional Court described some other constitutional changes that had taken place in 2013. He introduced the structure of the legislative body - the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus. Petr Miklashevich added that there was a controversy in the country about the need to amend the Basic Law. Last year, he stressed, the Head of State gave instructions to study this issue taking into account national interests. And this is an order under control.

In conclusion, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court spoke warmly about the staff of the oldest agrarian university of the country, and wished everyone success in creative activity.

In his turn, rector Vitaly Velikanov thanked the high guest for the meeting. He also recalled that we were waiting for a responsible political event. And he expressed confidence that the many thousands team of the Belarusian State the Orders of the October Revolution and the Labor Red Banner Agricultural Academy will support the course of stability and creation that independent Belarus has been following for a quarter of a century.
