According to him, "at first, representatives of a number of initiative groups abuse the right to hold pickets to rock the situation and destabilize the socio-political situation."

“Then they will form teams and groups of militants who, it is possible, will want to organize a massacre in the square,” BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying.

According to the president of Belarus, "democracy is democracy, but there should not be lawlessness."

“You saw in the United States and Western Europe how super-democratic states, which, incidentally, taught us democracy, treated protesters,” he said.

Lukashenko said earlier that he intends to do everything necessary to maintain the sovereignty and independence of the state.

He also said that he would not allow “Maidan” in the country before the presidential elections in August. The Belarusian Interior Ministry said that on the eve of the election, the situation in the country is heating up.

The CEC of Belarus called the current election campaign in the country the most difficult.
