Deputy contender: I have not studied MPs' rights yet
Do deputy contenders know MPs' rights?
Member of the House of Representatives Valyantsina Leanenka has decided to run for MP again. She claims that she learnt the rights of MPs long ago.
Valyantsina Leanenka: “I am an Associate Professor of Political Science! That is why I certainly know what state bodies have to do and what their financial responsibilities are".
The MP has used the right "to comment on her activities in mass media" about 200 times. Not every journalist has written so many articles! She addressed the security agencies and sent appeals to various state institutions. She has even used her right to be accepted by officials out of turn!
Valyantsina Leanenka: “When citizens address us we have to give them a response in a certain period of time - we say that there is a question and that we need to meet and discuss it".
Mahilyou activist of the campaign "Tell the Truth" Aksana Zakreuskaya would also like to be elected MP. But she has not studied MPs' rights yet.
Aksana Zakreuskaya: “I do not think that MPs will get down to work on September 24! There will be time to realize all the opportunities".
She will use the right for initiation of bills in the first place. Euroradio read out MPs' rights to the candidate. Aksana assured that she would often use her right to publish articles in state mass media.
Zhlobin activist of "Fair World" Valery Rybchanka has already run for MP before. He has prepared and studied the Law on the Status of Members of the House of Representatives. He will appear in mass media once a week. However, he thinks that the right for accommodation provided by the state is too much.
Valery Rybchanka: "They forget about people very quickly, they do not visit electors and just sit in these Minsk flats".
The candidate says that the right for initiation of bills is the most important MPs' right. However, he admits: if there is only one "fighter" in Parliament, it is not possible to change anything.
