OREANDA-NEWS President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called on Belarusians to support a domestic rather than a foreign manufacturer before accusing the government of all sins.

"We seem to live in a poor country - you're also talking about Belarus and our population. Well, to see what kind of cars people drive, what they dress in, the question arises: well, why do you spend a lot of money to support a foreign producer?! Well, you can support your own – Worsted, Orsha flax, etc. Good fabrics, your own fabrics, environmentally friendly," Lukashenko said, addressing a message to the people and parliament of Belarus during a meeting of the All-Belarusian National Assembly in Minsk.

According to him, this applies to every resident. "We need to think about this before reproaching the authorities for all their sins, including me," the Belarusian president stressed.
