Lukashenka Announces 'Brutal Repression' Against 'Mayors'

The dictator has turned against the leaders of Vitsebsk, Mahiliou and Homel regions.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka said that the "governors" of the three regions might face the "brutal repression," if there are no results in agriculture.

According to BelTA, he addressed the heads of Vitsebsk, Mahiliou and Homel regions, Aliaksandr Subbotsin, Anatoli Isachenka and Ivan Krupko: "I'll tell you this, Aliaksandr, you, Isachenka, former Minister of Agriculture Krupko: if there are no results this year - wait for the most severe reprisals. I'm telling you in plain text. I have no other".

Responding to the suggestions made by the head of Vitsebsk region, Lukashenka said: "If the state control reports to me within a week that you have energy-intensive tractors standing under the fence or working to the limit, not only you won't get a single tractor... I'll tell you openly, not in a popular way: you'll all go to jail. That's all".
