Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko ordered to prepare a clear-cut and plain-spoken decree regulating advertising in mass media as he spoke at the meeting on 25 March, BelTA has learned.
The president emphasized that advertising should be placed on patriotic pro-government channels that work to protect the state, maintain peace and calm in the country, and not on those that are trying to destroy Belarus. “The decree on advertising should be straightforward and clear-cut. I am ready to take such a decision. Even though we will be lambasted, we should keep in mind that this money was earned in our country, using the work of our people, therefore, this money should be used to protect and support our state. That's it. I am telling you this openly,” the Belarusian leader noted.
Aleksandr Lukashenko warned media managers and journalists against becoming complacent after such a decision is taken. “We will not allow this. You know me well. I praise for good things, but rebuke (at the minimum) for bad things. That is what we must proceed from,” the head of state noted.
