Belarus President urges for liberalization of all areas of life

We should make people feel free, liberalize our life. It is crucial in a difficult situation. When serious economic problems emerged, as was the case of the mid 1990s and the 1998 default in Russia, the decisions were taken to make economic relations more liberal, Alexander Lukashenko said. According to him, it is essential to create more space in the economy, “so that people could act in a more free and fast way without impediments to their activities.” The President also underlined that the observance of human rights is his priority. “To ensure the right of people for a decent salary, for being able to live freely and say what you think is the main objective of the President,” Alexander Lukashenko said. He added that this should not be forgotten while trying to achieve high economic indices. “We are the world’s leaders regarding the settlement of such issues, I would say. Yet we still have so many problems affecting people’s life that it is painful even to talk about it,” the Head of State underlined.
