Call on Belarusian media to stay unbiased in upcoming election campaign

MINSK, 29 August (BelTA) – The Belarusian mass media should stay unbiased in the upcoming election campaign and avoid pushing for the incumbent head of state, if he decides to run for presidency. Rather, the media should offer an objective view of what has been done in the country over the past period, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he heard out a report on current issues related to the country’s information policy on 29 August, BelTA has learned.

“I am certainly grateful to all of you for covering the most pressing topics of our life. You also show me up quite well sometimes. Thank you for this. During the upcoming election campaign we will have to show what we have achieved over this time. We do not need to pull someone here by force. We have a lot to show people,” the Belarusian leader added. “Of course, there are shortcomings. Well, what are we to do here? Everyone has them. At the same time, a lot of good things have been done, and we need to show them to our people. Let people decide what to do and whom to choose.”

According to the head of state, the issue of getting the media ready for the election campaign is of high importance. “You do not need to push for the incumbent head of state, if he decides to run for presidency. We should just show our people what we have achieved,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
