Discussion of the draft budget for 2020, a decrease in the number of doctors in the country, and a look at judicial legislation are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan discusses the draft budget for 2020 as part of a joint meeting of two parliamentary commissions on November 19. The author notes that the budget for next year will greatly support the reforms being carried out in the country, and a social orientation will be ensured.
The author recalls that next year's budget revenues will amount to 24 billion 134 million 500 thousand manats, and expenses - 26 billion 913.7 million manats, which is 6.8% or 1 billion 723.7 million manats more than this year.
According to the author, deputies and chairmen of parliamentary commissions consider the budget for 2020 to be thoroughly prepared and recommended it for consideration at the plenary meeting of the Milli Majlis.
The website Sfera.az is discussing with Professor Adil Geybullah a decrease in the number of doctors in the country. While in 2010 there were 33,085, then in 2018 there were 32,485. One of the reasons is migration abroad - to Turkey, Germany and other countries. Another reason is the departure of doctors to another job and a change in profession. In addition, there is a downward trend in student enrollment at the Medical University.
The website Azpolitika.info discusses the situation with the judicial legislation with the deputy Gudrat Hasanguliyev. He believes that there is a need to amend existing legislation. After the adoption of the new Constitution, the criminal procedure and civil procedure codes were to be amended, but this did not happen.
Reforms are needed to stop judicial red tape. It is necessary to achieve full independence of judges and increase salaries. –0---
