Belarusian Oppositionists are Enemies of People, Lukashenko
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, September 16, speaking at the sixth congress of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus, said that the Belarusian opposition leaders are the enemies of the people. "They are not the opposition at all. They are the enemies of the people. Wherever one can do worse for the state, they are there. Yesterday Europe, America pressed on us, and they were there. Today, Russia presses us, and they are already there", the Belarusian leader said.
The president attempted to refute the accusations of his political opponents that he tried to bribe the electorate by raising wages, AFN informs.
"We have done that 18 times over the last five years. So, be calm. It is the 19th time we do it. People do not think, that someone someone buys them", Alexander Lukashenko said.
"I do not want the presidency if people think that I make an advance to them," the president said.

2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?"
1st Person: "It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and read it."
