MINSK, 20 April (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized the importance of the fight for justice and against corruption in an interview with RT TV channel, BelTA has learned.
At the beginning of the conversation, RT host Rick Sanchez noted that the West is well aware of Aleksandr Lukashenko’s tough stance on corruption, which is even referred to as the professional ethos of the Belarusian leader. The journalist asked what lies behind this conviction.
The president said that he grew up in a poor family and saw a great deal of injustice in his life. “This principle of justice comes from there. From seeing that injustice. That’s why I decided once and for all that the fight for justice would be the foundation of my policy,” he said.
“Corruption is an outrageous thing and a sign of injustice. If you dig deep, corruption is at the root of the worst phenomena, including wars,” the head of state explained.
“Forgive me for being immodest, but I often take stock of my years as president. I see both the good and the bad. My most positive quality is that despite everything, I managed to preserve this sense of fighting injustice. That’s my motto,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
