Emanuelis Zingeris: Lukashenka Surrenders Belarus to Kremlin Propagandists
Emanuelis Zingeris

All statements of Lukashenka about the dialogue with the West turned to be an outright forgery.

Lithuanian political and public figure Emanuelis Zingeris stated that while commenting of the blocking of Charter97.org:

- The blocking of "Charter-97" proves that all this "pluralism" is just a show (I do not even use the word "democracy) for Minsk.

Lukashenka has only changed methods to put pressure on political opponents. They are not put in jail, but they are fined. The Belarusian authorities combine this method with intensive brainwashing of the population of the country by pursuing independent mass media.

We are convinced one more time, all statements of Lukashenka about the dialogue with the West turned to be an outright forgery. Despite the promised "bitcoins" and "digital economy", Minsk will lose attractiveness for Western partners, as it has not become the place to freely discuss ideas or read the European-based media.

Lukashenka can be "congratulated" with a equivocal "victory": now Minsk carries the palm for lack of freedom of speech. It hurts the image of the country bearing all possible repercussions.

- "Charter-97" with 3 million unique visitors per month is the main balance against Russian and pro-Russian information resources in Belarus. What consequences can the blocking of the website bear?

- The information space of Belarus will become more pro-Russian. It falls within the policy line of the person who has almost ruined the Belarusian education over more than 20 years in power.

The imitation of the "Western vector" has recently been completely fictional. The other attack on Europe-oriented, democratic media source "Charter-97" proves it one more time.

The blocking of the Charter unleashes the floodgates to greater influence of the Kremlin-controlled TV screens and radio stations. This means geopolitical control of the irremovable Moscow government, which does not think of any pluralism in Russia.

Final integration into the Russian non-democratic space and the Kremlin stereotypical thinking jeopardise Belarus. It happens with the permission of Mr. Lukashenka. The blocking of "Charter-97" means that Lukashenka surrenders to the Kremlin and says: "Our information space is yours forever and ever".

In fact, the Belarusian information space surrenders to the Russian one. Please note that the number of media in the Russian language is declining in Ukraine, while democratic editions are under constant pressure in Belarus. This is nothing but transfer of control over information flows to Kremlin propagandists, like Kiselev. Lukashenka gives Russian patriotic rednecks complete control over almost all nine million people of Belarus.

- How do you think Belarusians can preserve their information independence?

- Such democratic media like "Charter-97" are subject to protection. And people should seek opportunities to get unbiased information.

After all, Minsk is 170 km away from Vilnius; residents of Hrodna and Lida often travel to Lithuania. I want to address them: use these trips not only to buy a pair of new shoes.

Read "Charter-97" and other blocked sites in Belarus when you arrive in Lithuania. Listen to Lithuanian media and Radio Svaboda. We are glad to see Belarusians in our shopping centers. But we will be even more glad, if Belarusians join a free information space. Take this opportunity unless you find yourselves under the wing of the EU and NATO.

It will be recalled that on January 24 the Lukashenka regime blocked an independent information source Charter97.org. The first Deputy Minister of Information Ihar Lutski confirmed the blocking access.
