Preserving the sovereignty and independence of the country is of crucial importance, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting held in Minsk on 19 June to discuss support measures for the real economic sector on the part of the banking system, BelTA has learned.
At the start of the meeting the head of state expressed his opinion over the developments in and around the country. “You see that today all political interests have their focus on Belarus, both from the West and the East. Watching the situation over the past 24 hours, I can see that certain forces have intensified their activities in attempt to undermine the situation in the country. We have observed this for a long time. But we managed to make some steps to keep ahead of the game and derail a large-scale plan to destabilize Belarus (this is not a joke or intimidation) and to organize some kind of a maidan revolution here. That was the goal. We have ripped off the masks from not only puppets that we had here but also puppeteers who are outside Belarus,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The president stressed that he would not allow anyone to destroy the country. “I want you to understand that in terms of my functional duties as President under the Constitution and simply as a person who has spent his whole life to create this independent sovereign state, will not allow anyone to destroy this country. I want you and others to understand me. For me there is no greater value than Belarus, sovereign and independent. I will go to any length to keep the country intact," he said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said he was closely monitoring the situation in Belarus. He has also been discussing it at the meetings with representatives of the regions. “I am conducting an open dialogue, informing about the situation. This conversation is fundamentally open in view of the political events that are taking place in our country,” the president said.
It is essential to use all tools in the economy to help people and enterprises which need support in a difficult situation, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the meeting. “Indeed, the is no catastrophe in the economy, but there are certain issues attributed to the closing of the world. The world economy is not operating in full swing. It (this world) starts to open with a higher level of coronavirus infection. They closed when the level of coronavirus infection was lower, and now they are beginning to open because they had made mistakes. It did not weaken this virus. On the contrary, a lot is being said now about the second wave, it has already started in certain places,” the Belarusian leader remarked.
“We need to mobilize tools and live in current conditions. If the National Bank and some members do not understand it, they will be dismissed. There are no other options. We need to brace up and use all tools, first of all, to help people,” the head of state stressed.
In this regard, he mentioned the payment of salaries, especially at private enterprises. “It is good that under my pressure salaries were paid there, only a few businesses did not do it. Perhaps, other measures should be taken because these are private enterprises. They found money for travelling to the Canary Islands, Goa, Thailand and cannot pay salaries to their employees. We will take measures to handle this issue. Probably, they have been playing with politics for too long instead of doing business, expanding it, and taking care of their people,” the president said.
However, certain enterprises are facing difficulties, the head of state said. “We need to help these enterprises,” he said.

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
