MINSK, 20 September (BelTA) – It is necessary to mobilize all government institutions to restore discipline and order in the country, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus Aleksandr Volfovich on 20 September, BelTA has learned.
The head of state emphasized the need to intensify work with the central government. “These days I was pretty busy but I still found time to think about what is happening in Belarus. I want to emphasize again: we need to strengthen accountability and discipline in our society. There is a lot of mismanagement. When you start dealing with seemingly minor issues, you end up discovering very serious problems,” the Belarusian leader noted.
“There is a lack of discipline. Therefore, you need to take under control (this is my instruction to the State Secretariat and you as the state secretary) of all those who are responsible for discipline, to mobilize all government institutions to restore discipline and order everywhere in the country. I have given an example with education. But we have enough problems in the social sphere and in the economy,” the head of state said.
“I keep receiving more and more reports that those fugitives and their relatives are keeping things low-key, regaining strength; today they are setting up businesses and directly say that they will save up some money and then arrange a flare-up here. And some kind of regiments or battalions are being formed in Ukraine to overthrow the authorities and tear off Belarus and join NATO. Again they want to create a new Ukraine here in Belarus. This is unacceptable. I am saying this sincerely and frankly, so that everyone knows,” the Belarusian leader noted.
