The Foreign Ministry of Poland has called statements of “Sovetskaya Belorussiya” newspaper about the plot of Polish and German secret services whihch caused the post-election events of December 19 in Minsk “dramatic, propagandistic efforts on the verge of absurd.”

“It is simply absurd to speak about a plot. Where a plot could stem from, when Minister Radoslaw Sikorski met with all candidates for presidency in Belarus, Lukashenka, Nyaklyaeu and other candidates,” said the spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry Marcin Bosacki to journalists in Madrid on January 14. He underlined that Poland plans to “voice strong and resolute protest to this unprecedented and absurd attack in the press” through diplomatic channels,” IA Regnum informs.

Commenting on this article in the Belarusian state-run newspaper, the influential Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita notes that “in general, it is a positive fact that Lukashenka needs some conspiracy theories.” “It’s confirmation that he does not feel strong support of his nation. In other words, he was stricken by the real results of the election on December 19,” the newspaper writes. It also finds the follwing fact to be very interesting: “only now it was found out that Lukashenka’s main opponent Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu was on the leash of Berlin and Warsaw, while before the election he was presented as Moscow’s man. And he was beaten up by the KGB specifically as pro-Russian candidate.”
