Just sick of you

Alyaksandr Lukashenka formulated the main quality a head of state should have on the 15th anniversary of his presidency.

“One should be close to people, understand them, both adults and children, workers and scientists,” the Belarusian dictator told today answering the questions of pupils of the boarding school and gymnasium in Luzhesno, AFN reports.

“The main thing is that people feel this,” Lukashenka said. He noted that in that case one can remain the president of the country and not to annoy the people of the country.

15 years is a rather long time for this “civil marriage”. The people have felt the person they deal with and even learnt to understand this “close” man, whose inaccessibility can be compared with that of Mount Everest. To understand by phrases and intonation when he lies and when not, when he has complexes, what he likes and what irritates him and what he is afraid of.

15 years is a long term not to make another kitchen quarrel on this anniversary finding out who is right and who is to blame, who made a mistake 5, 7, or 12 years ago. There’s no sense in emotions or long philosophic talks, accusations and insults. Everybody understands everything, every party will remain or pretend it has remained of the same mind.

15 years suppose the both parties have the right to express its real opinion directly, without end runs and sliding tackles, and show the mistakes of the opponent.

One can say with certainty that most people in Belarus are not agree with the dictator’s view and would have said low if they had had such an opportunity: “Actually, I‘m sick of you” and dreamt how real can be the only step of Lukashenka that can put paid to all 15-year discussions: “I’m tired. I am leaving.”

Let it be not original, but it is respectworthy. And, what is important, the big Belarusian family will manage this decision.
