Lukashenko: Discipline policy enters new stage

DRIBIN DISTRICT, 13 March (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko announced the beginning of a new stage in the requirements for maintaining discipline as he spoke to journalists during a working trip to Mogilev Oblast on 13 March, BelTA has learned.

“Discipline is the basis of any technological process, and it’s not because [Aleksandr] Lukashenko is a ‘dictator’. Rather, technology itself demands discipline. If it is lacking, it means we have invested all this money only to ruin everything and there will be no technology,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. He stressed that discipline is a basic requirement that does not need additional financial resources. “It’s a human factor: you need to arrive at work on time, finish work on time, and complete the tasks the technology requires. Without discipline, things will go wrong,” the Belarusian leader said.

At the same time, the president noted that it is important not to go overboard. "We need to take it gradually. We have completed the first stage. Now we are moving on to the second stage," he said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that it is important for him to see the results of the current year, as they will be an indicator. He tells this to managers: “This year is a litmus test for you, a measure of your performance.”

The president explained the importance of discipline using the example of Dribin District. He recalled that this remote region on the edge of Mogilev Oblast had once even been proposed for dissolution. But the head of state decided otherwise: let Dribin District continue to exist as a separate territorial unit. Today, local agricultural enterprises are operating steadily, and the president visited several of them during this trip.

“We discussed this with the director [of the Trilesino Agro livestock complex]. Everything is technological, rational there; the complex has been modernized and reconstructed. Solid, excellent, technologically sound. I asked him: ‘If there’s no discipline, what will happen to technology?’ He didn’t even start discussing it. Everything is clear,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
