to develop public diplomacy, despite the point of view, our government, which president lukashenko absolutely rightly said 2 days ago, is simply a colony of the united states. the italian economy has suffered greatly from the sanctions policy of the united states, the european union against russia and belarus, so today we decided to come to belarus as observers to see how everything is. i understand that a country like belarus acquires a certain independence from opinions of european western countries, and personally i see some positive things in this: we will work at polling stations from 9 am to 8:00 pm, we plan to visit five polling

stations, both in the center and on the outskirts of the city. press conferences and briefings; experts, more than seventy of them, will work here in the information center to monitor the voting process. belarusians, however, and not only belarusians, will be able to follow without leaving home. the atn mobile studio is ready for direct switching on, from here my colleagues will switch on in real time almost every hour, starting at 8:00 am. ekaterina tikhomirova, dmitry garkusha, television news agency. officially, the studio of the tv news agency in the palace of the republic will open only tomorrow, but the first speakers dropped by there today. the head of the central committee of uzbekistan assessed the level of the election campaign in belarus. today i saw how my fellow journalists have already attacked you, everyone is asking about the progress of the company, as an observer, but i would like to ask first, as a guest, how are you on belarusian soil? it was very nice, we we met in advance with the chairman of the central committee of belarus, igor vasilievich, and he

told us in detail about the preparatory stage, about the legislative acts and regulations adopted by the central committee of the republic of belarus and...

belarus is distinguished by good preparation and high-quality conduct of elections, secretary general of the council of the interparliamentary assembly of the cis state dmitry told reporters kabitsky following a meeting with chairman of the central committee igor korpenko. the mission is represented by 44 people, these are parliamentarians and experts who are competent in understanding legislation of other countries. the belarusian not only complies with all democratic norms regarding the organization and conduct of elections, but according to observation, everything is organized at a very decent level. we passed , as already said, both the grodno region and the brest region, we monitor minsk and the minsk region,

tomorrow we will definitely visit a large number of sites, we plan that we will visit at least 100 sites, this will give us the opportunity to get such a good picture objectively in order to to draw certain conclusions, and also today the chapter the cec held a meeting with a delegation of international observers from the parliamentary assembly of the union of belarus and russia, viktor seliverstov noted:

one of their tasks is to suppress external pressure or influence, including third parties. the head of the mission, lebev, spoke about this. he noted that, despite the established practice of early voting. and the latest figures for

early voting have just arrived, so at the end of 5 days the turnout was 41.7%. screens, as we see, early voting takes place with a high turnout. belarusians' interest in electoral campaigns in the new format are noted by national observers; you can cast your vote tomorrow on the main voting day. let us remind you that those voters who cannot come to the polling station for health reasons or other valid reasons have the right to vote at home. as for the characteristic trends of the current... urgent voting, the turnout figures indicate that belarusians approach the fulfillment of their civic duty responsibly. svetlana chernova talked with those who decided to cast their vote in advance. galina kulazhenko did not wait until february 25, i came to the polling station to vote early. she is an example worthy of emulation for her three sons. the youngest turned 18 and this will be his

first election. he also understands responsibility, he understands what depends on it. our life , so we will definitely come to vote, we rely on our deputies, we hope for their protection, for their understanding, i want our village to prosper, i want there to be jobs, in the village of ozershchina there are more than 4,500 residents, three polling stations are filled no one is rushed to submit ballots; in rural areas, a voter receives four of them in order to take part in the selection of deputies of all levels at once; the villagers know the candidates well and have long identified them as favorites. in real matters of helping people, of course , this is a holiday, we are looking into the future, voting for the future of our children, i want to live in a stable, calm, clean country, which it is now, we must preserve all this goodness and increase it, i want to see our belarus bright, with a peaceful sky,

developing, special interest in the electoral company for young people. after talking with them, you understand that they, those who look into the future, confidently know what they want and see our country as peaceful, modern and free, clearly understand the responsibility for their choice and the value of participating in voting, and even those who for whom this is the first time. for me , one day of voting is , first of all, an important socio-political process that emphasizes the importance of the people’s elections, therefore, as a representative of civil society, i consider it my duty to come and vote. i think it is our duty to determine the future of our country and the future of those people who will represent our interests at the highest level, at local levels in the pavati of representatives. the main document when voting is a passport, but you can use an id card, student card or driver's license. having voted for the first time, they handed me the constitution of the republic of belarus and gave me instructions on what i need to do, the very right to choose, and to choose

the candidate whom you consider true for the future of your country, your city, very important. every person should use this right to quickly find their polling station. the central election commission launched a service on the website, where the addresses and telephone numbers of territorial and district precinct election commissions are also posted. so the students of the minsk automotive college know their polling station, by the third day of early voting, about 80% of the children made their choice, they took a conscious approach and decided in advance for whom to vote. i got acquainted in advance at our hostel at the farewell stand and near the metro. i also stopped and read it. on our polling station, the voting process is actively, quite actively, if we compare past periods, then approximately the percentage remains the same. as for the election campaign, 101, young man, our students, for the first time this year, became

voters. tomorrow on the single voting day, at exactly 8 am, 5,411 polling stations will open. behind the deputy are not just his voters, the whole country, so the electoral process must be taken very responsibly, this is the opinion the chairman shared with journalists house of representatives of the national assembly of belarus. vladimir andreichenko also exercised the right to vote early. elect those who are truly patriots.

we live, what challenges we face and how we need to be together at this moment. the elections of deputies to the house of representatives of the national assembly of belarus are organized in accordance with the standards of international law. this assessment was expressed by the head of observers of the csto parliamentary assembly, alisher erbaev , during a meeting with the chairman of the council of the republic, natalya kachanova. in his opinion, the central election commission carries out systematic work, which is based on the principles of openness and collegiality. members of the sic carry out assigned tasks clearly.

of the republic of belarus regarding the organization and conduct of elections, especially since this legislation has undergone many changes after amendments were made to the fundamental law, to the constitution of the republic of belarus, we

do not see any dissatisfaction on the part of its participants. currently , 44 international observers from interparliamentary assembly of the cis, 12 from the csto parliamentary assembly, 25 from the parliamentary assembly of the union of belarus and russia, four from the permanent committee of the union state. the impressions from the organization of the election campaign in our country are positive. observers will give a full assessment at the end of the elections. more than 45 thousand national and almost three hundred international observers are monitoring the election process. information from them from all regions of the country flows into the center of public monitoring.

5 days before early voting. big some of the calls concerned candidates’ election programs; the rest were advisory calls. there were also some comments. each complaint required detailed consideration. the center’s task is to promptly inform the population about the voting process. some of those who called were interested in how people with limited mobility can vote, whether there are ramps, someone asked why several ballots are issued.

almost in real time, so a voter complained that he was not allowed to get from the polling stations to the center to vote, he came to the polling station without an identity document, he was sure that everyone already knew him in the village in which he had lived all his life, but naturally, the commission explained that it was impossible to vote without a document, to monitor the current situation online communications with the center are also connected to the regions, we start with brest, roman valentinovich, that we have in the brest

region, we have communications practically every day. with the regional ideology, gradually over the course of now - from approximately wednesday to thursday we recorded an increase in the number observers, one of the polling stations , a young man came to his locality at the place of registration, who wanted to vote, but for some reason he was not on the voting lists, such a technical issue occurred, the election commission included him in the list, but for some reason they offered to come to vote on the main voting day on the 25th, the citizen contacted: promptly contacted our hotline, the issue was resolved, the person voted. other questions , for the most part, are related to the fact that our citizens do not fully know legislation, some ask to vote for a relative, some ask to vote without an identity document, in such cases the commissions also clearly explain the legislation to people and say that this is illegal. as of today, the work of the center's hotline has already been completed, and tomorrow, on the main

voting day , every voter will again be able to contact them with their comments or... suggestions, this can be done from 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening, and it will also work the chatbot of the telegram channel is being monitored. victoria sharkova, viktor borisov, television news agency. since the beginning of the week, all personnel of the internal affairs bodies of the internal troops have been transferred to an enhanced version of duty. close interaction between police officers and election commissions, executive committees and other interested parties has been established. for information collection, monitoring and analysis purposes. the police operate operational-situational headquarters. public order protection is ensured at each polling station around the clock . monitoring the situation in public in areas adjacent to the polling station sites is carried out by video surveillance systems, including cameras connected to the republican public security system. the measures taken make it possible to ensure a timely response to possible complications of the operational situation.

units of uniform deployment are close to the voting sites, and the potential of voluntary squads, veteran organizations and the belarusian republican youth union is also used. the newlyweds from mogilev decided to combine business with pleasure. how it turned out that the wedding is not at all a reason not to vote for your future, which the dubrovsky family is building. nikita and christina had two important and important events on february 24th. and they started a family and took part in the elections. on a beautiful mirror date. this is an electoral year not only for belarus and russia; the presidential elections in lithuania will take place in may twenty-fourth, and what is currently taking place in this baltic republic has revealed in all its glory the essence of modern european democracy.

all against this background. pre-election period in a number of internet sources have not stopped attacking the belarusian parliamentary campaign, but in this year of quality, a single voting day has every chance of becoming the standard of a truly high-quality people's choice, why is this a new release of the author's program on the platform. a return to real democracy is possible if elections are held in the interests of one’s own people, and not of external well-wishers. belarus has been demonstrating this for many years in a row, but this year the quality is bringing this process to the standard level. maxim osipov welcomes you. hello. the single voting day is february 25, but the current election campaign has long made it possible to draw certain conclusions. firstly,

the thesis that opponents of the government are spreading is the alleged lack of competition. years, the competition is 2.4 people per seat, specifically in my constituency four candidates were registered, and six were nominated, there is no competition, you say, 18,802 people are vying for 12,514 seats in local councils of deputies, about one and a half per seat. secondly, the untenable reasoning of our country’s opponents about the absence international observers, their number is countable. hundreds, the cis observer mission alone is about 150 of them. and how many observers from other countries, including the european union, and this despite the fact that the notorious osce mission did not receive an invitation, because in our elections we

want to see objective, impartial specialists, and not zombified organs, with absurd preparations concocted in advance, about which back in the spring of last year , our president spoke in a message to the belarusian people and parliament. i'll say more and delegates of the supreme council, representatives, local councils, parliament, the belarusian people will choose only they, and not some mythical observers from the osce. thirdly, this is an electoral campaign, for the first time it is undergoing serious analytical components; a scientific and expert council has been formed at the center for electoral commission, which will help the central election commission analyze the implementation of legislation during elections. another public structure is actively working. electoral commission center, youth council, whose members held many meetings with young people are taught equally by peers in the format, because the current single voting day has its own specifics, which need to be explained, fourthly, and this is the most important thing,

the improvement of the electoral code has made it possible to return the true democratic essence of the electoral process, from now on even attempts, already always fruitless, to turn belarusian elections as an instrument of external political forces are excluded. and those who have a litvin’s passport, a pole’s card, the insides of a grantsucker, all go to the gardens, to the european one. in other words, in the year-quality belarusian the electoral system demonstrated a qualitatively new approach, not only a single voting day, competition between professionalism and patriotism, rather than populism and western worship. meanwhile, western democracy is rapidly deteriorating. a simple example: in may , our neighboring lithuania is holding presidential elections, the media is trumpeting it, the current president has it. according to the ratings, useda has every chance of winning, he is popular among all segments of the population, i would immediately add that during the elections in december last year, 25.8% would have voted for nauseda voters, that is, a quarter of voters in the lithuanian sense - this is every chance

of victory, but the victories of the pro-western limitropes are always a feast, while farmers and working people of these countries continue to block roads and protest against the anti-people lawlessness of inadequate power. busy legalizing cocaine and supporting bloodshed in ukraine, we continue to build our country calmly, confidently, efficiently, and we do it for ourselves and for our children. i am sure that now, on a single voting day, we will once again prove our unity. what those who imagine themselves to be world democracies allow themselves to do in elections are blatant violations and falsification. for the elite, family blat and even re-elections a few years later, germany, austria, the usa and others, to whom everything is possible, in an understandable policy, we will show western tricks and absurdity without problems. watch it on monday after the panorama.

macron resigns, with such shouts a crowd of protesting farmers broke through the police cordon at an exhibition in paris. the protesters arrived in the capital on the eve of a major agricultural exhibition, which... opened today, they spent the night in a spontaneous camp, in the morning they launched an attack on shopping pavilions, the police threw the rioters to the ground, in response, the protesters threw eggs at the security forces, even goats were in the center of mass clashes. emmanuel macron personally showed up at the exhibition

and, as expected, condemned the farmers' protests. the day before , he tried to organize a meeting with the farmers, but to no avail they refused. the fact is that representatives of the controversial environmental activist movement were also invited to the debate. the farmers considered conversations with them useless, because it was the green the agenda, together with cheap imports, brought the industry to the brink of bankruptcy. billions of dollars allocated by the united states to ukraine have fallen into the hands of money launderers throughout.

criminal cases regarding us assistance to ukraine. bloomberg cites defense department inspector general robert storch. investigators are looking into procurement fraud, product substitution, theft, fraud or corruption, and diversion. it is clarified that the checks concern 155mm artillery shells violations of the shipment of goods to ukraine through poland. considering the amount and speed of assistance to the kiev regime, it will soon come to specific charges. sad news came from russia: in moscow, at the eighty-first year of his life, the chairman of the supreme court of russia, vyacheslav lebedev, died. he held this responsible position under yeltsin, putin, medvedev and putin again.

public trust in national justice, through his activities he contributed worldwide to the expansion of cooperation between the highest judicial authorities of belarus and russia. another sports drama played out today in the united arab emirates in dubai. at the planetary forum on beach soccer , the sensation team. our national team of belarus fought on equal terms to reach the final of the world championship, but in a very tough volleyball match . lost to the titled squad of italy.

igor brishtel opened the scoring and before the end of the first half, evgeniy novikov increased the advantage of the belarusians. after the break , the situation changed, the opponent was able to score twice to equalize the numbers on the scoreboard, in the third in the half, the teams exchanged goals 3:3. overtime did not reveal the strongest and, as a result , the winner was determined only in a penalty shootout, where the italians turned out to be more accurate 5-4. but the tournament did not end there for our guys. tomorrow at 17:00 we are all cheering for the belarusian national team in the world championship bronze medal match against the team from iran. the meeting will be broadcast live on tv channel belarus 5. let's support our guys together. but the belarusian agricultural academy in gorki became a platform for tractor biathlon. everything is as in big sport. only instead of skis, the famous equipment is the best assistant in the field on the roads. every year, as the organizers noted, the geography of the championship participants is expanding. and these are not only students of the academy, but also guests, those who connected their lives with working on

a tractor, this time, including from grodno, minsk and tolochin. along the almost kilometer-long route of the training ground, they had to not only cope with off-road conditions, but also successfully hit targets. i was born in the city of pruzhany, where i had my first experience driving a tractor. received in college, then in agriculture . people are very delighted; they always smile and wave at me on the roads. i have never been to this part of belarus, so this is my little one today. procession, i’m the kind of person who doesn’t sit still, in practice.
