All the Russian press and plated stooges. The BBC and other western media should not be attending other than to give him the appearance on tv. Everyone knows he’s a dictator and needs to be removed.
WOW! Steve Rosenberg has courage in abundance! His questions seriously rattled Lukashenko's cage and the press conference quickly descended into Lukashenko deriding Steve as if he were the opposition leader in Belarus' parliament. By the way that Lukashenko calls him 'Steve', clearly indicates that he is very, very aware of him and probably has him marked. There were at least two blatant threats made against Steve Rosenberg in Lukashenko's tirade and "Don't overdo it Steve." is clearly one of them. Despite this, Steve Rosenberg continued with his questioning without fear or favour. The BBC may have serious governance issues, but it also has some incredible journalists and productions teams. Steve Rosenberg is one of those excellent journalists if not the most excellent.
What’s bad about it if Belarusian people who live in Belarus are support him? Why isn’t dictatorship allowed to be democracy as people choice? Who did invented so stereotypical negativity to dictatorship? It is people of country choice, not your, not other politicians and it’s a great choice
@@NickStar2005 By definition, a dictator doesn't depend on whether or not the majority of the population wants him as their leader. And the election is a charade.
Good job to Steve and the BBC for being there and asking him hard questions. Steve and the BBC should be proud of Steve's bravery and resilience. It takes alot to do what he does. To stand up to a powerful man face to face and tell him he is wrong. Stand firm Steve, what you are doing is right and good for the world.
Lukashenko is a fraud. We have short years on this earth, each of us, and this is how he wants to be remembered. He could stand up for his people and his country but nope.
Democracy is people’s choice, Belarusian people made that choice and you are not jurisdictionally allowed to make influence cause you are not Belarusian people
Diversity for Israel NOW! You need lots of Pakistanis and Nigerians in your country, it's your "strength". Nobody believes what you people say any more, the West does NOT have your back. 😉
Ideally dictators want to be ignored- by pushing his buttons Lukashenko revealed his insecurities by responding so aggressively to Steve. He even actively made threats. That says more than anything he could ever say, he’s concerned about his position.
Not much has changed since they were Soviet; they were so used to that system that, even though everyone knows, and we all know, that no politician lasts that long in 20 years, even with the whiff of deception, some of them look at it through rose-colored glasses.
@charlesonyango8226 prime minister and president are different. PM elected by winning party or coalition. If party members agreed can be PM as long as support of MPs.
He similar to trump Belarus is similar to trump. Trump is alike Lucashenko in my opinion. He compare to US and UK do what you like. Don't abstract yourself in comparison to UK and US. Fascinating view of Lucashenkos duties
What I adore about this is that Lukashenko absolutely despises Steve and you can tell. Byelorussia doesn’t have the political clout to lock Steve away so it has to just let him in and ask these questions.
Wow you can really tell that Steve gets under his skin lol. I guess dictators aren't used to answering questions from reporters that aren't sycophants.
I hope the local populations see Steve ask Putin and Lukashenko these question’s and make a stand against them. Should encourage them to stand up against these dictators.
For them, it's normal; they have been accustomed to this type of system for over a century. It's unrealistic to believe in such a big change as you do.
@Neutralino Belarus is a lot smaller country than Britain. Funnily enough Belarus has a lot less debt than Britain but you won't want to talk about that 🤫
@@pessi6185 Looks like you don’t understand what “per capita” means. Belarus has less debt because not many people want to buy Belarusian bonds and will consequently charge higher interest rates. Belarus is incredibly poor, due to decades of rank mismanagement - but you don’t want to talk about that. 🤫
Steve seems like a nice guy, but his questions are a little predictable... And Lukashenko is intelligent, astute and ironic. Unfortunately, no one here has realized that democratic processes have become extinct: in the world, technocratic oligarchies contrast with statist autocracies.
@@jonnsonsam They have over 1,000 political prisoners, as admitted by Lukashenko. Belarus doesn’t have any independent press so who knows how many gangs they have.
@ 1,700 of those were actually charged. And most of those people weren’t imprisoned and that number include things such as defamation which isn’t political speech. So those aren’t political prisoners. Belarus has over 1,000 people in jail as we speak. That’s undoubtedly more than the UK in a population a fraction of the size.
Ignore whatever the BBC says, good luck to the fine people of Belarus. You are not invaded by Africans and Asians like Western Europe is, so keep it that way! ♥
Stop being a racist man, As a Vietnamese living in Saigon. I see and serve people from Western Europe (most of them from Britain) chose to live and settle here that makes locals like us have to use your language to communicate but I don't even spit a word like yours. Clean your mouth before throwing a whole spit at people.
@@GodwinGodfather I think you should do it first. Haven't you learn at school to answer the questions? I am from Belarus and know much more than you for sure.
What baffles me is, how Steve, with his gargantuesq cohonas still works for the BBC. This guy is a top tier journalist and should be employed by a real agency. Not a bunch of buffons.

Maybe wise to have a reporter there with an actual brain that can ask the right questions. Is this the best reporter BBC have? Jeezz... why even represent? LOL
lukashenko is absolutely right, first thing to say is that the rules make us free, if the rules of the highway code for example, imagine, were not respected or not implemented, in the name of a presumed concept of freedom, even though we have a legal permit to move freely, in reality we would not be able to easily reach any destination, respect for the rules for everyone, the laws are made for this, there is no freedom without rules.

He's really seething. Steve really has the steel balls.

Steve is remarkable. No doubt the most underrated reporter out there.
"Everyone has choice, some choose prison, some choose exile"
