Wieck about government in exile: I do not think that it is senseless

Hans-George Wieck, chairperson of the Association of Human Rights in Belarus (Berlin), made a speech at the conference “Future of Belarus” in Vilnius and touched upon the issue of the Belarusian government in exile.

Hans-George Wieck: “The council we are speaking about will not be an organ used to create a government. Secondly, we can discuss the creation of an alternative government. However, the alternative government should gain international recognition to have some sense.  It is hardly possible in the near future. The European Commission and some others are still hoping to see changes in the country”.

 Mass media used to write that Hans-George Wieck thought that the creation of an alternative government was unlikely. Wieck says that he was misinterpreted and that he does not think that the idea is senseless.

 Let us remind you that political emigrant, ex-colonel of the special forces, Uladzimir Baradach has been promoting the creation of such a government recently.
