The “parliament” of Belarus has no intention of returning to the adopted law on improvement of social benefits and guarantees for certain categories of people, Vadim Papou, chairman of the “house of representatives” said journalists.

“We need BYR 800 billion for benefits, but we can scrape together just BYR 250 billion, so don’t push us to taking populist decisions,” speaker of the lower “house” of the Belarusian “parliament” noted.
