During a visit to Minsk OMON, Alexander Lukashenko, who considers himself the president of Belarus, called them “people of duty, honor and conscience.” The riot police gave him a black beret.
Alyaksandr Lukashenka, who considers himself the president of Belarus, received a black beret from Minsk OMON on December 30. The video of what is happening was posted on the Telegram channel “Pool of the First”.
The OMON spokesman, when presenting the distinction, explained that it was “on special merits”.
“You were with us in battle formations, and now you are a full-fledged soldier of a special militia detachment,” he said.
The website of the Belarusian president noted that the event in which Lukashenka received a black beret was a visit to the OMON police department of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
“I couldn’t help coming to you. Today I see real patriots of our homeland, people of duty, honor and conscience in the ranks,” Lukashenka said.
Since August 9, massive protests by those who disagree with the results of the presidential elections have continued in Belarus. According to official data, the victory was obtained at that time by the head of state Lukashenka, for whom 80.1% of the voters voted. The second place with 10.1% of the votes was held by the Belarusian opponent Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. At the same time, alternative exit polls showed the opposite picture: Tikhanovskaya’s confident victory.
Belarusian riot police brutally dispersed the rallies with explosives, rubber bullets and water cannons. During the protests, hundreds of protesters were injured and wounded. According to official figures, four protesters died.
Tikhanovskaya stated on November 28 that eight people had died during protests in Belarus.
Lukashenka has repeatedly accused neighboring countries of participating in the protests in Belarus, in particular Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania.
Lukashenka assumed the presidency on September 23, he believes. For the first time in the history of Belarus, the opening ceremony was not announced or broadcast on television. Several states, including the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Denmark, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, did not recognize Lukashenko’s inauguration.
