The storm of the Belarusian Maidan activists has crushed the ex-minister who fled the country
The former Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus, who organized the suppression of the first wave of protests in August, Yuri Karaev, called the former Minister of Culture Pavel Latushko, who, being already the director of one of the Minsk theaters, supported Belomaidan and then fled the country, an enemy of the state.
Karaev, who now holds the position of assistant to the president for the Grodno region, stated this in an interview with blogger Alexei Golikov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I don’t personally know the ex-Minister of Culture. I didn’t know his views before these events. But I consider what is coming from him now to be a destructive act for the country. I can’t explain his motives, but from the point of view of my life experience, he is not a patriot at all. He goes against his state, no matter how good his thoughts are. His calls are disastrous for the country. His desires will not be useful for the economy and culture of society under any government. Through destruction, sanctions, and deterioration of the country’s life, he wants to achieve a change in power, sacrificing the standard of living of people, the image and well-being of the country. This is an incomprehensible and unacceptable path for me,” Karaev said.
The opposition's proposals do not inspire confidence in him.
“Like, foreign countries will help us. Why should we help her? That he is so great and at his call someone will start pumping money into us?
Our arguments were not presented so beautifully. Their arguments are wrapped in a nicer package. But no one has seen them, tried them and does not know how it will be. And ours work and function. Trying as best you can, abandoning something that works reliably and has stood the test of time, rushing into nowhere, into a beautiful picture, we should not allow this,” Karaev said.
