The party was held at the Palace of Independence, Lukashenko’s own residence. It is the same palace where Lukashenko appeared armed with a machine gun when the protests began.
It is announced that 314 young people and girls from different regions of the country have been invited to the celebration, which took place on Tuesday, writes euroradio.fm.
“They are young people who study at universities, vocational technical events and special high schools,” the president said in a press release.
“Everyone learned history and we have to understand: the age of our land has been under the soles of strangers. It is a thing of the past and does not have to be repeated. And it won’t happen again, if we really want to be independent, “Lukashenko said.
It is reported that 72 couples who have been learning the secrets and dances of etiquette for the past two months are hanging out on the parquet.
However, both the young people and Lukashenko himself did not have protective masks and, judging by the published photos, there is no talk of following social distance.
After the party, Nasha Niva managed to talk to a girl who was attacked by A. Lukashenko. This is Olga Petrovich, 20, a third-year student at the Belarusian State University of Technology, a participant in beauty contests.
“I invited Lukashenko to dance. And he didn’t give up, he dances well. We danced the waltz, we talked about the party, what a festive atmosphere it is, how they all dance, how beautiful they look and try each other,” said the girl.
Reporters asked why everyone at the party did not have protective masks.
“We were in control of this problem, we asked if we were feeling okay. So I had no doubt that there would be no misunderstanding. I didn’t do a coronavirus test, but I looked at both temperature and well-being during testing. We didn’t have masks. , but we had them, you can’t do without masks in public transport. For some reason the president didn’t ask anybody without a mask, “says the student who dances with the president of Belarus.
Olga says she did not vote in this year’s presidential election.
“With regard to events in the country, I adopt a neutral position: both parties, in a sense, are right and wrong. As a result, I am not taking any specific position,” said the student.
On Wednesday, Lukashenko spared no praise to OMON troops for their efforts to quell protests by opposition forces in August.
He stated that if the slightest weakness had been shown, “Belarus would have become a completely different country or perhaps even ceased to exist.”
Lukashenko, who has not stepped down as head of state for 26 years, emphasized that he will remain in power and stand shoulder to shoulder with the owners until they order his resignation. Dmitry Balaba, commander of the Minsk Special Forces Militia Squad (OMON), presented Lukashenko with a black beret, a badge of recognition for the elite forces.
Thanking such a gift, Lukashenko kissed the beret and jokingly said that from now on he was the owner too.
For the fifth month in a row, Belarus has been plagued by massive protests over the presidential elections on August 9, which Lukashenko has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western democracies consider these elections to be rigged.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of Lukashenko, the release of political prisoners and new elections.
According to the opposition, more than 30,000 people have been detained in Belarus since the protests began. people.
