Lukashenko spoke out against monuments to himself and Petrov and Sidorov
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko supported the initiative of the Miory metal rolling plant worker to name the enterprise after the hero, but opposed the installation of new monuments.
He stated this at a meeting with the workforce of the enterprise, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The only thing I’m against are monuments. Here, come on, a monument to Lukashenko, Petrov, Sidorov. Listen, we are doing our job, what monuments. Just let me go, they’ll punish you during your lifetime. Lenin will be demolished - and you will be erected on a pedestal. I don’t particularly adhere to this path: renaming streets for politicians and so on. Let's be specific, when a person actually made a contribution. If a person deserves it, for God’s sake. But this should not become some kind of fashion,” Lukashenko said.
