The end is inevitable: Lukashenko demotivated everyone who supported him - Belkovsky
The “bad circus and farce” that Belarusian President Lukashenko staged around the presidential elections and the protests that followed them speaks to his deep doubts about his own political prospects.
Russian liberal political strategist Stanislav Belkovsky said this on the YouTube channel “Vlast vs Vlashchenko,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Oddly enough, Lukashenko turned out to be psychologically much closer to Yanukovych than previously thought. His hysterical speeches on the eve of the elections on August 9 - in fact, there were two hysterical texts: this is his message to the people and parliament, which he delivered in the Palace of the Republic, and an interview with Gordon, which as a journalistic product was a great success, but it showed Lukashenko’s extreme psychological instability .
Although he was relaxed, because Gordon knows how to win over his interlocutor and create a zone of psychological comfort for him, even in this relaxed state, Lukashenko constantly made Freudian slips, which indicate his deep doubts about his own political prospects,” Belkovsky said.
“Repression, violence, demonstrative violence - a self-confident political leader never behaves like this. Let us remember that Napoleon Bonaparte, who was not exactly afraid of the power of weapons, said that bayonets are a good thing, but you cannot sit on them and maintain power. Napoleon himself, when he arrived from the island of Elba, reached Paris without firing a single shot.
Napoleon motivated his people very correctly, he is a great motivator, but Lukashenko is engaged in anti-motivation of his own people, and even those who treated him loyally and tolerantly yesterday no longer treat him that way today.
Continuing this bad circus is the story with the machine gun, and then I remembered that just after Yanukovych fled from Ukraine, Lukashenko said that in the place of the Ukrainian president he would go with a machine gun to defend his power.
That is, he used this phrase, remembered it now, for some reason he brought unfortunate Kolya to this booth. At the same time, Lukashenko did not even notice that he greeted the special forces, saying “well done” and “handsome”, but not a single ordinary person, a representative of the Belarusian people, is in the picture. It turns out that he has no support base other than these special forces,” says the liberal expert.
According to him, “this madness” will not lead to good, since the people do not calm down.
“In Belarus there is a growing understanding that Alexander Grigorievich must be gotten rid of as quickly as possible. It is growing in the EU, the USA, and the most unpleasant thing for Lukashenko is that it is growing in the Kremlin.
There are critical Russian journalists who, on the one hand, are considered independent and not propagandists, like Solovyov and Kiselyov, but, in fact, we know that their positions express the secret thoughts of the Kremlin.
And such journalists are now writing that we need to get rid of Lukashenko, if only because Russia will otherwise have to take full responsibility for the unpleasant events currently taking place in Belarus, including economic responsibility,” added Stanislav Belkovsky.
