The Congress of the Union of Journalists is taking place in Minsk today. President Alexander Lukashenko sent greetings to his delegates and participants and also called for an adequate response to the "aggressive destructive impact" of new media on the consciousness of Belarusians:

"The society faces a global challenge. The era of fake news destroys the classical norms and principles of professional journalism. It turns the information media space into a battlefield, geopolitical interests, which involves Belarus. Media became a tool of realization of the ambitions of unscrupulous politicians. They threaten our historical, cultural, humanitarian values, neglecting any ethic, objective rules."
