"The voice of the people in favor of the continuity of the best traditions of the past era has become the key to maintaining peace and harmony in society," the president emphasized. “The unprecedented trust of the citizens of Belarus in the political system made it possible to build a stable and independent state. The fundamental values enshrined in the Basic Law, such as social justice, traditional family, historical truth, are the true guidelines for us helping us to overcome modern challenges and look confidently into the future."
