According to Lukashenko, the search for his "palace" with the help of drones is being carried out by the "fugitive opposition", whose plans are not destined to come true, since the President of Belarus has "no palaces".
“In particular, now our fugitive oppositionists have found “Putin's palace” - they are trying to find Lukashenko’s palace ... Let them search, they show. And then we will take some of the protestors by the hand and show them. They are already there raising drones, flying. This is how I observe it and think: “Listen, well, if you want to know something, you should contact me. We will show you any premises”, - RIA Novosti quotes Lukashenko's words.
The head of Belarus added that those private houses that are now allegedly being rented by the opposition in order to make a film about him, similar to what Navalny did about Putin, have nothing to do with him.
“Once again I want to tell you and everyone who listens to me: Lukashenko has not stolen anything from the state for a quarter of a century. And has no palaces”, - President Lukashenko said.
The reason for the speech of the President of Belarus was the film about "Putin's palace" in Gelendzhik, released by the team of opposition politician Alexey Navalny. A few days after the release of the film, the rating of Putin's trust in Russia went down sharply, and businessman Arkady Rotenberg declared himself the owner of a giant villa on Cape Idokopas, which is under the protection of the FSO. He said that he was building a hotel there. Meanwhile, opposition leader Navalny, detained at Sheremetyevo while returning to Russia from Germany, was sent to a colony in the Yves Rocher case, which the ECHR recognized as “politically motivated”.
Opposition sentiment in Belarus has escalated especially after the presidential elections on August 9, 2020, in which Lukasheno won for the sixth time in a row. Pointing to numerous falsifications, the citizens of the country began to go out in large numbers to street protests, demanding a revision of the voting results, holding new fair elections and the release of all political prisoners in the country. Many of the protesters were thrown into prisons or forced out of the country abroad. In response to the demand to resign Lukashenko said that his leaving the post does not intend, and are no political prisoners in the country - "were not and are not".
