Martsau: Resignation marks generation change in Lukashenka government

Political analyst Pyotr Martsau told ERB that Interior Minister Uladzimir Navumau's resignation marked the end of a generation change in the Belarusian leader's government.
Martsau does not link the move to the unsolved bomb explosion that wounded more than 50 people during a state holiday celebration in Minsk last summer.

 

"The resignation has long been expected and it has taken place. It marks the end of the replacement of Alyaksandr Lukashenka's first political team. When criminal cases were opened against deputy ministers, it became clear that his resignation was forthcoming."
