Provocative appeals began to appear on information resources sponsored by Poland and Lithuania. In an effort to overthrow Alexander Lukashenko, they want to paralyze the economy of Belarus.
“Starting today, we need to start doing the following”, – says the publication of one of the pro-Western telegram channels.
According to the instruction, citizens of the republic should withdraw funds from bank deposits so that they cannot even indirectly be used to finance law enforcement agencies.
Also, people are urged not to pay for “fat”, meaning utility bills. At the same time people are assured that the sanctions for this will be insignificant, while the massive lack of payments will paralyze the treasury.
Alcohol and tobacco products are also suggested not to buy “if possible,” so that the budget would not receive money from the excise tax.
Instructions to legal entities mention the need to delay payment of taxes, “under cover of force majeure,” as well as not to pay for supplies to state enterprises. This, according to the report, will lead to the collapse of the national currency.
Attempt of coup d’etat in Belarus
August 9, presidential elections were held in Belarus, resulting in the victory of Alexander Lukashenko. Western countries, for which the Belarusian leader had been a hindrance for a long time, did not put up with the voting results. As a result, pre-planned riots broke out in Belarus.
Attempts by law enforcement agencies to keep the situation under control turned into clashes with radicals. At the same time, Western media, actively covering the protests, focus on the actions of law enforcers against “peaceful” demonstrators, as it was during the coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014.
At present, the European countries together with the USA are taking the side of the protesters. They refuse to recognize the election results, while Poland and Lithuania are actively working on a revolutionary scenario. The headquarters of pro-western opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovska is preparing for lengthy protests aimed at overthrowing the government. A committee for “power transit” has already been formed there. Tikhanovskaya herself is hiding in Lithuania.
Sunday, a week after the presidential elections, a rally of supporters of Alexander Lukashenko was held in the center of the Belarusian capital. About 65 thousand people gathered on Independence Square. At the moment the President does not rule out that he will resign, but only after the referendum on changes to the Constitution.
