"There will be no helicopter money." Belyaev on the requirements of the President to the regions and the rate on youth

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko during a long trip to Shklovsky district set a new bar for agriculture and regional development. What is the essence of the requirements on the air of the talk show “Budni” on the YouTube channel “SBTV” and “Alfa Radio” explained political scientist, candidate of historical Sciences Alexei Belyaev, writes sb.by.

According to the expert, the President’s trip to the Mogilev region is interesting because it takes place on holidays.

- The president has no holidays or weekends. Even these important dates for the country are working dates for him and for the entire leadership. This is a characteristic feature of the Belarusian model and the style of work of the President: he is focused on work and creation, therefore, gathered the leadership of the country and districts to show how to work, said Alexey Belyaev.

The guest of the studio reminded that farmers were tasked with doubling the export of agricultural products, which already brings the country more than $ 10 billion.

- Doubling this indicator is a large-scale and important task for the country, but it is very difficult. And we see how it is solved: not in the capital or in regional centers, but directly in the places where production and people work. Separately, it was about the specifics of the work: it is necessary to give the opportunity to both private and state structures to work simultaneously, without replacing each other and without shifting responsibility, the analyst explained.

According to him, the seminar, which brought together the heads of all 118 districts, is indicative in the context of the program “One district – one project”.

- Using the example of Shklovsky district, the leadership is shown what should become the basis, the anchor around which production will unfold, new infrastructure and jobs will appear. All of this is in action, in dynamics and under control. The head of state said very seriously: "Helicopter money will not be." Every district, every leader should look for their own reserves. The Head of the Presidential Administration confirmed this: it is necessary to use the reserves that are available, break even and not be subsidized regions. There is no free money in the Belarusian economy: everything we earn is spent rationally. They don’t help everyone, but those who show that support is really needed. The elements of socialism in our country are aimed at supporting citizens and enterprises that must be brought out of the crisis. But those who can themselves, who have the rod, which the President spoke about, should work, said Aleksey Belyaev.

He specifically focused on training and transferring experience to young people.

- The president always says a change is coming. But it must be taught, shown and explained what goals the current generation has set, what difficulties it has faced, what it transmits to future generations and what it expects from them. It is important that training is carried out, there is a rotation of senior personnel, there are reserves. The young generation, born after 2000, grew up in prosperous times, in the golden age of Belarus. Youth should show that this did not arise by itself, but was the result of hard work, administrative decisions taken, for example, the merger of lagging farms with more developed ones, the restructuring of agricultural, industrial and scientific complexes, the political scientist said.

According to him, the country should think not only about today, but also about tomorrow – to move to a new level of technological development.

- If we want to keep up with other countries, we need to introduce methods of production that competitors do not yet have. To do this, it is necessary to pull up scientific research and borrow the most modern technologies. We are even technologizing traditional industries, such as agriculture. There is a discussion about whether it is more profitable to raise a cow for milk with a profitability of 80% or for meat with 8%. But the President warns that it is impossible to leave the people without meat, the demand for meat products is high. We need to make money, make meat production profitable. This requires the latest technologies – not only new machines and feed, but also a rational organization of labor. The president also talked about tractor drivers: take a stopwatch, see how much it will plow the field, and demand technological discipline from everyone. It all depends on the person in their place. The local leader must demand from subordinates, the President from the leadership of districts and regions. Technological discipline and the latest inventions are associated with the intensification of labor. This will allow us to reach a new level and transfer modern developed economy to young people, Aleksey Belyaev summed up.
