As a Belarusian, Lukashenko has been doing the “public shaming” thing for as long as I remember. This often resulted in one of directors being publicly yeeted and then silently getting a good position in government or another facilty. Usually, another boring corrupt man who wouldn’t really change anything is appointed so next year the same can be repeated. It’s just cheap populism.
Indeed. I don’t actually think he’s an “animal rights icon”, I just thought it was amusing that Lukashenko of all people was pretending to care, and also the strong language he was using.
Oh he pretends to care about a lot of things. It’s just the part of the image. Our nazlib opposition mocks him for it, but it’s more of a shame because of how fake it is. Like, cities would sometimes repair roads and houses around it before Lukashenko’s visit but only those he’ll be driving through.
