Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko praised the people of Poland who showed their will at the parliamentary elections held on 15 October.
“Poles did really well. I didn't expect this outcome. They just refused to play this game with PiS [the ruling Law and Justice Party that lost the majority in parliament]. I applaud the people of Poland. Well done! They left it in the dust. They actually brought the opposition to power. Poland will not be the same anymore. They may not be our people there [in power]. They are not yet willing to talk to us, but these are already different people. The Poles showed them: if you do not listen to us, we will vote you out. Well done Poles!” the head of state said.
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus always extends a helping hand to its neighbors and never throws stones in their direction: “Our neighbors are given us from God, and we should live peacefully with them.”
“What they are doing now on the border is beyond comprehension. Europe has already realized that there was a criminal network smuggling migrants to Germany. It was not Lukashenko who pushed those migrants there, but it was them who made money on those migrants,” the head of state said. “Lithuania will soon run out of people. They keep their people high and dry. I have been to Lithuania. Lithuanians are smart, strong people. Why are they doing this to their own people? Lithuanians, Latvians are good people. They just have a bad luck with their governments. That is their problem however. I think Lithuanians, Latvians will solve this problem at the elections in the nearest future.”
