After Lukashenka Ordered To Keep Prices Down, They Started To Grow

Belarus ranked first among the former USSR countries by growth of consumer prices in January-August this year.

It is interesting that this has happened despite the fact that Lukashenka is more than all the other rulers of the post-Soviet countries speaking about the inadmissibility of price rise for goods and services.

Thus, in February this year, he reminded: “The rise in prices must be compensated by increasing incomes of the population.”

In June, Lukashenka promised to “pull the heads off” to those who would use the denomination to raise the prices.

And in August the head of Belarus said: “The main thing is to avoid price imbalance: when there is no possibility to raise salaries and to stop the growth of prices at this time. If there is such imbalance – it’s a great problem. The prices shouldn’t go up now, we have already decided this.”

Watching how the prices continue to grow after the words of the dictator, it unintentionally comes to mind that in such a way the economy assesses Aliaksandr Lukashenka as the leader, Salidarnasts writes.
