Lukashenka: If businessmen help opposition, they fight against the state
The Belarus leader warns business circles to stay away from politics by not supporting the opposition
It happened
on Tuesday at a meeting dedicated to the activities of the Council on
Entrepreneurship Development. "If a businessman finances the "fifth
column" or renders negative ifluence on the society, I will consider it to be their personal involement into the political struggle, the struggle against the
state. Other laws are applied there, so let those businessmen not take offence
afterwards," interfax.by
quotes the state leader as saying.
Moreover, Lukashenka warned the businessmen not try to
influence on the state authorities and create the so-called "front."
According to the Belarusian leader, no one can accuse him of forcing anyone to
help the state. "I am equally close to everyone - businessmen or non-businessmen who want good for our country," Lukashenka said.
