The Belarusian opposition thanked Macron for calling Lukashenko. This is reported by RBC — Ukraine.
“Opposition leader Pavel Latushko thanked Emmanuel Macron for the firm warning of Alexander Lukashenko about the inadmissibility of drawing Belarus into the war against Ukraine. According to Latushko, Lukashenka understands only the “language of power” and France has enough influence to convey this signal,” the publication says.
We are talking about today’s telephone conversation between the Presidents of France and Belarus, Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Lukashenko, initiated by the Elysee Palace.
On behalf of the opposition, as already noted, “Deputy head of the Joint Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, head of the NAU” Pavel Latushko spoke out. And judging by his message in the telegram channel, Macron’s dialogue with Lukashenko rather frightened the opposition.
“It is possible to speak with Lukashenka only in the language of force and warnings from a position of strength. France certainly has such power,” Latushko writes.
At the same time, he warns Macron that any agreements with Lukashenko “by Western leaders bypassing the Belarusian society and democratic forces will not be durable and trustworthy,” therefore, “a precondition for any agreements and guarantees of their implementation by Belarus can only be a preliminary solution to the intra-Belarusian crisis through a full-fledged dialogue of the current functional authorities with the Belarusian democratic forces.” and civil society.”
“Only Belarus, which has gone through its version of the Round Table, systemic transformation and overcome the internal crisis, can become a full—fledged party to external agreements and a guarantor of their implementation,” Latushko sums up.
Because of these wild formulations, there is a fear that Europe will come to an agreement with Minsk, leaving the opposition feeding from its hand without means of livelihood.
As EADaily reported, during today’s telephone conversation, Emmanuel Macron “asked” Lukashenko not to interfere in the war on Ukraine. This was reported by AFP, citing a source close to the French president.
According to the interlocutor, the French leader actually threatened the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
