Lukashenko held a meeting with members of the government and other top state officials on Friday. The ruler scolded them and threatened them with going to jail. As an example, he told about the recent high-profile cases against his own high-ranking appointees. The ones he chose for government posts.
"Well, you chose this path, follow it. I will not persuade you or ask you again. A step to the left, a step to the right will be put to the wall. I'm telling you publicly. This is the last conversation I'll have with you. Whatever the election campaign is, - their master frightened the officials. - I'll make an agreement with the Belarusian people. I will negotiate, I will find a common language with them. I've been finding a common language with them for three decades.
Recall, at present Lukashenko keeps Belarus in his hands solely at the expense of terror against the Belarusian people.
