Especially, the women reported that they missed their children very much and drew the right conclusions from the past events.

The Jokorgy Kenes of the Republic of Karakalpakstan supported the proposal to assign the deputies of local district councils to the persons on the list formed by the members of the Commission based on a social guarantee.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN SOCIETY: MODERN TRENDS AND REALITIES

“Of course, many local officials do not like sharp and critical content [in the press].

They disrupt their peaceful and carefree existence.

But openness and freedom of speech are the demand of the times, the demand of the reforms in Uzbekistan.”

Shavkat Mirziyoyev,

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan

In a society where freedom of speech and press is not ensured, there is no chance for the development of mass media, as freedom of speech and press is one of the main conditions for democratic development and formation of civil society. Thus, freedom of speech and press is the “cardiovascular” system of democracy.
