If You Go Out to the Streets, We Will Resist. If You Go to Break, You Will Answer. Lukashenko

The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, has called for balanced decision-making in the current situation, urging not to rely solely on information from certain sources on the Internet. He made this statement during a meeting with employees of the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant, as reported by Belta.

Lukashenko particularly referenced numerous false claims regarding "alleged real estate and financial assets" owned by him. "Therefore, I say, if you find it, take it," he noted.

“Today we need to think not with iPhones, but with our brains. Think. You all convey that no one will convince anyone. The time has come that if you cross the border, God be with you. If you go out to the streets, we will resist. If you go to break, you will answer. Here is a manly conversation for you,” emphasized Lukashenko.

He also expressed confidence that calm and balanced decisions need to be made to stabilize the situation. As previously reported, today, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko visited the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant by helicopter and met with strikers.

During the meeting with the employees of the plant, Lukashenko stated that no new elections would be held in the country. "Never expect that I can do something under pressure. They will not come to power. Because there will be neither Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant, nor Minsk Automobile Plant, nor the Belarus Automobile Plant; everything will be destroyed within six months," Lukashenko’s words were quoted by Belta.

“You talk about unfair elections and want to conduct fair elections?” the president asked. “I answer this question: we have held elections. Until you kill me, there will be no other elections,” he added.

He called for the redistribution of powers through constitutional processes, rather than through street protests. Since the presidential elections in Belarus on August 9, employees of the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant declared a one-day strike, emphasizing that if their demands are not met, the strike will turn into an indefinite one. Protests have continued in Belarus since the presidential elections, with participants expressing their dissatisfaction with the results, which declared the incumbent president Alexander Lukashenko the winner with 80 percent of the vote, while Svetlana Tikhanovskaya garnered only 10.12 percent.
