Viktor Azarenok: "The Inauguration Ceremony of the President is a Guarantee that We Will Live in a Free and Independent Country"

Today, the inauguration of the President took place at the Palace of Independence – Alexander Lukashenko took office as the head of the republic.

This is an event of historical importance for Belarus and Belarusians!

The 30th anniversary of the presidency has shown us how much a head of state, for whom the interests and well-being of his people, and the prosperity of his country are the main values, can give to the country. Over 30 years, such flagships as BelAZ, MAZ, and Naftan have emerged in Belarus, the first Belarusian nuclear power plant has been built, and we have gone into space. Our stores offer high-quality food products, and we are leading global exporters of meat, milk, and sugar. Most importantly, we live in a calm and peaceful country: we have not only moved away from the abyss of poverty and devastation of the 90s, once and for all eliminated organized crime and criminal groups, but also, despite everything happening around Belarus, have maintained peace on our land.

On January 26 of this year, we cast our votes for A.G. Lukashenko, and these were very telling elections: the helpless and predictably unsuccessful attempts by the so-called opposition to interfere not only did not influence the opinion of Belarusians and their choice, but were also completely unnoticed by them. Belarusians have learned a lot in recent years: we see what is happening outside our calm, peaceful country and we know for sure – WE DO NOT NEED THIS.

In his speech, A.G. Lukashenko particularly emphasized that Belarus's path is a path of peace and creation, which we are clearly following and will not allow anyone to erase our mark on history.

Today's ceremony is a guarantee that we will live in a free and independent country, which will ensure our stable well-being, preserve peace, as well as all the best that we have: our traditional values, our culture, and our history. As the President said, we are the masters of our land. We have earned this right and will not give it up to anyone.

Being present today at the Palace of Independence, listening to the oath of A.G. Lukashenko, I was filled with pride for my country, my people, and my President! The Head of State said: "It does not matter at all what size our country is on the world map – the voice of Belarus always sounds loud and confident." I am confident that under the clear, wise, and just leadership of OUR President, our beautiful Belarus and our people will reach new heights and new successes. Time has chosen us, and we have chosen our future.
