In Germany, Lufthansa Technik workers demanded that the company’s management refuse to service the plane of the unrecognized president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.
According to Nasha Niva, after a Boeing 737 with registration number EW-001PA landed at Fuhlsbuettel airport on October 13, the union issued a statement that the plane belonged to “who gave the order to shoot Belarusian protesters.” .
“This is the plane of Lukashenka himself who gave the order to fire on protesters in Belarus. We, the union activists of the Lufthansa Technik campaign, do not forget our long tradition of international solidarity and we stand by the Belarusian workers.”, – said in a statement.
In addition, Lufthansa Technik workers voiced a series of demands from the Belarusian government, announcing Lukashenka’s resignation and the need to hold real democratic elections.
“We demand the release of all political prisoners and the immediate reinstatement of those colleagues who have lost their jobs! We demand that all employees be free to associate in independent unions!” – they wrote.
They also recalled that 31 years ago their company had a similar situation. The workers then refused to service Romania’s boss Nicolae Ceausescu’s plane shortly before his downfall.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the European Union made the political decision to impose sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko. The relevant decisions were supported by the foreign ministers of the 27 EU countries.
