Head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry said about pressure on his family

Makei's statement was published on the website of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.

“I can still understand when threats are made against a civil servant holding a specific post. But the petty, anonymous pressure on the family, including young children, does not fit in my head with the concept of "democracy". For these tears of my eleven-year-old son, I am ready to bite his throat, ”the minister said.

He noted that “there is no smell of democracy here, it smells of pogroms and reprisals here”.

Earlier it was reported that Makei had a meeting with the UN Resident Coordinator in the country Ioanna Kazana-Wisniewiecki.

Makei informed the UN representative about the situation in Belarus after the presidential elections.
