Belkovsky: Lukashenko embodies Muammar Gaddafi’s plan
To retain power, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is trying to use flow of illegal migrants start a war.
Russian liberal political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky said this on the YouTube channel “Power vs Vlashchenko,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In February 2022, a referendum on a new Constitution is due to be held in Belarus, which reduces the power of the president and delegates significant powers to the so-called All-Belarusian People's Assembly. It will, at a minimum, deal with all privatization and formation of courts.
And then, somewhere in March-April, Lukashenko should step down as chairman of the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, and leave the post of president, albeit with less powers, to his successor.
And he, on the one hand, promised this to Putin. On the other hand, he is not going to do this. To avoid doing this, he needs a big war,” Belkovsky said.
He is sure that Lukashenko is trying to implement Muammar Gaddafi’s never-realized plan to blackmail Europe.
“On the other hand, he wants to get money from the EU to leave these migrants in Belarus. He can leave them, but this is definitely Muammar Gaddafi's scenario.
Several years before the revolution in Libya, Colonel Gaddafi persistently proposed that the EU take over all the functions of neutralizing and filtering migrants from Africa to Europe. He said: “Give me a few billion dollars a year, and I will make sure that you don’t have any unwanted migrants.”
But the EU did not agree to this, and Gaddafi was overthrown. A few weeks before the overthrow of Gaddafi, the flow of migrants intensified in every possible way, and since then this flow has not been able to stop.
Lukashenko reproduces the same logic of Gaddafi, without thinking about the fact that this did not save the colonel from anything. True, Gaddafi did not have such a defender as Vladimir Putin. The President of Russia at that time was Dmitry Medvedev, and he “leaked the bloody Libyan regime to hell,” the liberal concluded.
