benefits. for example, benefits for families raising children will increase. so, at the birth of the first child they will pay 10 budgets of the subsistence minimum, and for the second and subsequent children are already 14 bpm. in addition, social pensions and age allowances were added. since the beginning of the new month , benefits for caring for disabled people of the first group, as well as for belarusians of the venerable age of 80+, have increased. and, perhaps the loudest increase, labor pensions increased by 10%. this is the decision of the head of state. according to preliminary estimates , the average old-age pension in february is 811 rubles. and by january it will increase by 75, and the annual growth will be 140 rubles or 21%. this is a very significant increase. every pensioner there will be an increase. this depends on the length of service and the amount of earnings before retirement, as well as additional payments that are paid to the main pension.

an additional 166 million will be allocated to increase pensions in february. in total, the cost of paying pensions in february will be 1.8 billion rubles. and another innovation of the month, belarusian banks will accept foreign currency according to new rules. you can now bring dirty, worn-out banknotes with natural signs of use to exchange offices. it will also be possible to return banknotes with five tears. up to 3 mm or one up to 5 mm, even if the cuts on them are sealed. of course, some restrictions remain in force, but this mechanism can still be called a huge step forward. for it to start working, 17 banks and three financial organizations came to common approaches and signed an agreement. it has already been approved by the national bank. it is clear that the cashier often makes the final decision to accept or not accept currency. if you think that the employee has acted unfairly, there is still a way out. first of all , we will understand when this happens. the situation arose from

feedback from our client, our consumer, that is, he may well contact the bank with an explanation of why he was refused, in this case, each such action is analyzed, the reasons are clarified, and a legal assessment is given to the actions of the cashier . there are innovations in the medical field. tomorrow a new instruction from the ministry of health on providing assistance outside the place of residence will come into force. now you need to go to the clinic yourself for a temporary assignment, which may be extended in the future. we advise you not to get sick, so that february certainly turned out to be positive. thank you, anton malyuta, about the main innovations of the month. the protests of french peasants are becoming increasingly intense. farmers tried to take over the largest parisian pharmacy market. the police entered the fray. almost 80 people were detained, some of them were subjected to force.

the entrances and exits to the french capital are blocked from the south-west, in order to prevent the restoration of traffic on highways , the asphalt is broken or simply covered with black soil. despite the inconvenience, most of the french support the peasants. in in cities there are even children's demonstrations, young demonstrators at the toy store. tractors are in full solidarity with their parents, it is noteworthy that president macron at this fateful moment simply went to switzerland to participate in social events, and today she is going to brussels. the politician did not have time to appeal to the rebellious farmers. and in germany today a strike of aviators was announced. flights from the largest airports in berlin, hamburg, and hannover have been completely stopped. in other air ports the number of departures.

will be reduced, the airline is seeking an increase in wages, since the incomes of workers in germany have been seriously damaged by inflation. the farmers' strike is also not abating in the country; they have it in the bundestag. allies, the alternative for germany party is already supported by a third of the population and the movement’s popularity continues to grow. germany is deep in recession, it is not putin, not the world, or some made-up climate disaster that is to blame, it is the incapable government that is responsible for the collapse of our country. the only rich people left in germany are now overfed by the unceremonious state, but not by the taxpayers. meanwhile, christian protests are growing. belgian farmers surrounded the european parliament building and blocked a number of highways. the summit of eu leaders is due to start in the city today. the protesters will definitely not give them peace. i'll give you a tour.
