President Lukashenko almost dispersed the government

Today, for the highest Belarusian officials, the hard day of V Alexander Lukashenko is very dissatisfied with them again. So much so that, as predicted by Polit.ru, the Prime Minister Gennady Novitsky, his deputy Alexander Popkov, was resigned, and at the same time the Minister of Agriculture Mikhail Rusogo and the president of the Belgospishcheprom concern, Anatoly Kuzma, reports Newsru.com . The acting prime minister was appointed Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky. It got to others: Lukashenko announced reprimands to several chairmen of the regional executive committees and employees of his own presidential administration.

The president’s anger caused mainly “falsified and distorted facts” in government reports, in other words, the good old Soviet postscribes. The economy of Belarus in many respects remains planned, because it is easier for officials to write the required numbers and avoid bossy anger than to achieve the necessary results in practice.

However, it is not only a matter of Lukashenko’s desire to get effectiveness from officials. Perhaps this gesture is included in a series of actions before the referendum to change the Constitution, which will give Lukashenko the opportunity to be elected for the third time, said Oleg Manaev, director of the Minsk Independent Institute of Social, Economic and Political Studies. According to Manaev, the “clearing” of the information and political space is aimed at. Purpose V ensure the support of the president from the poorest layers. Therefore, he needs bright, almost theatrical moves.

According to Oleg Manaev, Lukashenko can succeed if, in addition to the acceleration of the government, he will be able to raise the well -being of people in a few months. He has such an opportunity, since there are two budgets in Belarus: the state and invisible V system of presidential funds. Moreover, the size of these funds is not inferior to the state budget. It is possible that some resources from there Lukashenko can use, Manaev believes.
