MINSK, 8 January (BelTA) – A “Venezuela scenario” in Belarus is unrealistic, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the awards ceremony in Minsk on 8 January, while commenting on the situation in Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro by the U.S. forces, BelTA has learned.
“You remember last year’s meeting of the Belarusian Security Council. Where we assigned roles for the scenario of ‘what if there is no president.’ Listen, we saw it coming. That’s why a ‘Venezuela scenario’ in Belarus is unrealistic. Even if it were to happen, we have everything provided for such a case,” the Belarusian leader stated.
“To prevent this from happening, we, the elite of society, must first and foremost, while leading the way, see and know our place. Everyone, in their own place, must do their maximum. Everyone. No matter how much dictatorship or authoritarianism we may have, you cannot force every single person to do this. And that is precisely why we are fated to be at the forefront in this mad, turbulent world. Once we accept that, success is guaranteed,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized.
