The musician spoke about Navalism in its Belarusian form
The Belarusian opposition, which has been seeking the overthrow of President Alexander Lukashenko since last year, has failed to attract the people with it.
This was reported by the PolitNavigator correspondent in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets by Dmitry Butakov, the leader of the Belarusian group Galasy ZMesta, which is the organizer of Eurovision. refused to participate in the competition, seeing in their work criticism of the Maidan workers.
The publication asked whether Belarusians want change.
“I am a linguist by profession. The word “change” must carry some meaning. What do people want to change? Make a paid healthcare system instead of a free one, is that what they want to change? I think no. Or reorient Belarus towards Europe? If this is change for them, I don’t want it,” Butakov said.
He also expressed his vision of the current political situation in the country.
“Personally, I understand the situation this way: one group wants to come to power and take the reins of power from another. In this case, be prepared for serious collisions. If you want the people to follow you, then make a program for the people. Lenin carried the people along with him, he was able to, but our opposition turned out to be weaker. If you want a revolution, become the second Lenin.
It’s better to offer the people something radical so that people say, well, yes, old man, exactly. And they are here for fair elections. Is anyone seriously confident that the opposition will come to power and organize fair elections? Ha ha ha. Navalnism in the Belarusian form. But the main thing is that the entire opposition left Belarus, and the people were put under hammers. Horrible, to be honest. Natural circus. Not impressive yet,” the musician concluded.
