“If Lukashenko leaves for Rostov, he will not live long”
The implementation of the program for the integration of Russia and Belarus threatens Alexander Lukashenko with loss of power and even physical death.
Chairman of the Belarusian opposition movement “For Freedom” Yuri Gubarevich stated this on the air of the Majlis TV channel ATR, based in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“For Lukashenko this will be political death. He understands perfectly well that he has no way to Rostov following Yanukovych. If he goes there, he will not live very long. Therefore, he will cling to power here in Belarus to the last. Naturally, he will not allow any external influence or the possibility of weakening his power: neither through the economy, nor through politics, nor through any agreements. It is possible that he can sign, but will absolutely not fulfill it,” said Hubarevich.
Citing sources in the Belarusian presidential administration, he said that new proposals for the integration of the two countries will be stuck in the bureaucratic machine.
Let us recall that the Russian publication Kommersant claims that got acquainted with the economic integration program Russia and Belarus, initialed by the governments of the two countries in early September. It supposedly talks about a unified Tax Code, a foreign trade regime and the Civil Code, unified property accounting and similar social guarantees, almost unified banking supervision, but with two central banks, a single regulator of the oil, gas and electricity markets and harmonized state regulation of industries. Kommersant interprets all this as the creation of a confederal state.
