Leanid Zaika: Your "stability" turned into salary with tinned meat

The Belarusians do not want to know a real economic situation.

Leanid Zaika, the leader of Strategy analysis center, says Salidarnasts, commenting on the situation with salaries.

- It is the scene of 90s, he said. - For 20 years there has nothing been done to build up effective and competitive entrepreneurship. As a result, we have Soviet enterprises which cannot pay workers. It is a pity that people have been deceived for so long. But on the other side, they got what they wanted. You have chosen stability and peace, and then here is your salary with tinned meat. The time of coffins has not yet come.

Should I say something more? Or should I say that it is nice we have no war and do not kill each other? Why do you nod at Ukraine? Who don't you take Latvia as an example?

Our people do not want to know the reality. When I say that the debt reached $4000/person, they think that I'm deceiving them. I am Vasil Pupkin and I am not guilty...

It is time to wake up. But it seems like they are waiting for grace. It is a mythologization, if someone says that the Russians are waging war with the Ukrainians, but we have peace.

Professionals should resolve economic problems. And the truth is that the operation is needed, it will hurt a little.
