Aliaksandr Lukashenka noted that the government is posing a set of questions, which need solution at the level of the president.

And today I cannot allow breaking anything, putting excessive pressure on people without any results, I am not simply against it, I am categorically against it,” Lukashenka said.

“I would like you to be committed to the policy that we had promised to our people during the election campaign. We cannot lie to people. Otherwise, we will carry out the so-called reforms for ourselves; they will be rejected by people. It will mess up the minds of people and destabilize the situation, then if we lose control, perhaps, the face of the government, and money, we will have to do even more than we have to do today to repay the external debt,” – Lukashenka said.

Lukashenka added that a monitoring group had been created to study those issues. Besides, he underlined that the course set by the state is the criterion of making decisions today.
