Lukashenko is ready to return fugitive zmagars who agreed to become yabatki
Belarus needs to develop a mechanism for returning fugitive oppositionists to their homeland.
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced this today at a meeting on the socio-political situation and the state of crime in the country, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Those who are ready to live in peace and create for the good of their country should not be rejected by society. This is an axiom. I didn't come up with this. And if we are wise people, and the government has signs of wisdom, it should act in this way. We need not to close ourselves off from those who have stumbled and realized this, but to take a step forward. But only those who will return either from places not so remote, or from abroad and will be, as we usually say, “yabatki” - even greater than those who surround us today. And there are such people,” Lukashenko said, recalling the “I/We are Father” poster with which his supporters came out during Belomaidan.
He believes that the self-proclaimed “President of Belarus” Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and her entourage, such as former Minister of Culture Pavel Latushko, will prevent the return of their supporters, since for them they are “a source of personal financial well-being.”
“Even if they are given money – the quiet ones, the scumbags – it is only taking into account that they have a couple of thousand people there who fled with them. And the West understands perfectly well that in the future these same people can be used by the West against our country. And they are supposedly in charge of these two or one and a half thousand fugitives - “quiet people” and “lakhushki”. Some money goes to headquarters. As we know for sure, these unfortunate one and a half thousand get maybe a cent or two. Everything else ends up in pockets in headquarters and offices,” Lukashenko said.
At the same time, he warned that among those who want to return there may be agents
intelligence services of foreign countries.
“Especially our neighbors on the perimeter, who behave vilely (worse than other states located further from our borders). Therefore, our task is an exclusively individual approach to everyone and fairness in decision-making,” Lukashenko said.
