It didn't work out the way I wanted it to.
Analyst Sergei Chaly commented on the air of "Ordinary Evening" on the regime's reproaches to the Belarusians, which have recently been increasingly repeated by officials of various levels:
- We are told that dictatorship is good because you can make long-term plans.
While politicians in the West are supposedly forced to think about the next election. But instead we see that steady wins the race - the tortoise wins against the hare.
If you don't have economic crises, but small growth rates, but for 30 years, then, for example, Poland, which was inferior to Greece and Portugal, will literally in the next few years overtake the UK or Japan in some respects. Simply because steady improvements are taking place, albeit not in a hurry.
And you are always fidgeting, inventing some magic scheme - I want a nuclear power plant, then pellets - and we will live, then rare earth metals or oil will be found - and we will live.
It is always this idea of Emel on the stove, who wants to do as he pleases - and do nothing else. And it doesn't work like that.
Thinking about how in 30 years the country could come to such deplorable, particularly economic results, Chaly names, in his opinion, the main reason for it.
- Of course, Lukashenko thinks that everything that Belarus has achieved happened only thanks to him. But in fact, the country's success is determined by motivation. It is not for nothing that he says that everyone should do something at his workplace.
Because earlier people were motivated to do something, in spite of everything, there were a lot of people who did the country good, not harm.
But as soon as the conditional year 2020 or 2025 occurs, after which it becomes clear that nothing will change, these people lose their hands.
It turns out that this motivation, when people wanted to do something useful, disappears simply because they are fed up with you, because it's obvious that you can't do anything, that you are useless.
And in this situation everything naturally begins to collapse. And Lukashenko doesn't understand what's going on. There was a huge number, tens of thousands of people who were doing fine. But as soon as they lose motivation, everything starts to fall apart.
A nationwide Italian strike begins. The Soviet strike meant - we pretend to work, and you pretend to pay
And the Italian strike is a literal fulfillment of the instructions of the management, no more and no less, and the fulfillment is as literal as possible, despite the fact that they are the instructions of idiots. And this is happening now. And this is what Lukashenko has achieved by his policy," concluded Chaly.
