Lukashenka Declares His "Privileged" Countrywide

The dictator turned into a feudal from the Middle Ages.

Retired police Lieutenant Colonel, activist of the United Civil Party Mikalai Kazlou, stated that to Charter97.org when commenting on the situation with the head of the Orsha district Leanid Penkouski.

- What could you say about Lukashenka's order to the Investigative Committee to talk "man-to-man" with law enforcement officials who broke into the house of the Orsha head of the District Executive Committee?

- There are only few facts about it. The only sound thing is that law enforcement officials broke into the house of the head of the "vertical". It is not clear why they did it. As well as why Lukashenka brought them down a peg.

The only possible conclusion is that we live not by the law with this power. Some people are "more equal" in the country. Enemies of Lukashenka have sticks, and "friends" of him - carrots.

Apparently, the head of the Orsha District Executive Committee Leanid Penkouski belong to those who have carrots. And the arrival of the police at Penkouski's Lukashenka perceived as an act of aggression against his power, as a "hit" on his vertical.

Such a nervous reaction of the ruler once again shows that we have an absolutely illegitimate state. Simply speaking, Belarus suffers lawlessness. The authority practices mutual cover-up principle: law enforcement officials are not allowed to touch the "inner circles", but they are stirred up against opposition, ordinary people who want to be free.

We live in the Middle Ages under the rule of Lukashenka. The ruler who lost the touch with the reality behaves like a feudal. He wants to be the one who decides what is right and what is wrong. The entire system of Lukashenka has immersed in lawlessness.

In this regard, I'd like to recall notorious people gone missing and apparently killed: Yury Zakharenka, Henadz Karpenka, Viktar Hanchar, Anatol Krasouski, Zmitser Zavadski. People suspected of their disappearance have not suffered any punishment at all.

The story with an official from Orsha is not so sound, but, in my opinion, it is from the same "opera." This incident once again proves that Lukashenka lives out of the law. He recruits officials on the principle of personal devotion. Orsha "vertical employee" has apparently managed to prove his devotion to the dictator and can now count on absolute patronage whatever he does.

- Does this cause associations with the case of 2007 year, when 4 law enforcement officials were convicted for the attack on the former head of the State Control Committee Zyanon Lomats? Many people found ties with the resignation of the chairman of the KGB Stsyapan Sukhorenka, who lost the "clan fight".

- I'd better refrain from drawing parallels with Zyanon Lomats's case. It is enough to look at the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Ihar Shunevich, who himself shows dog-like devotion and turned the police into an instrument to fulfill whims of the ruler. There's little likelihood that he will live or take a relax there. In my opinion, he is a dependent person.

I will not even be surprised that the "attack" of law enforcement officers on the head of the administration was the result of some mistake in Orsha. But Lukashenka's reaction to this fact is very indicative. The dictator said countrywide that there are people against whom the law does not work. Once again I repeat: some people have become "more equal" than others in the country, the one have everything, and the other suffer lawlessness.
