8 сентября 2020
The situation in the country after the elections, relations with Russia and global political processes. The event took place in the Palace of Independence in Minsk and was attended by Editor-in-Chief of RT Margarita Simonyan, correspondent of the First Channel Anton Vernitsky, TV presenter at Russia-1 TV channel Yevgeny Rozhkov, and Editor-in-Chief of the Govorit Moskva radio station Roman Babayan.  The questions were very different and, of course, many of them concerned politics and development of Belarus in modern history. One of them touched upon the escape of several members of the so-called opposition headquarters. 

This time they also talked about the prospects of the two countries' relations. Belarus remains committed to integration on an equal basis. However, today a lot of questions from our colleagues were related to our internal agenda - from the renewal of the Constitution to the possibility of early elections. The President once again drew attention to the unprecedented pressure on Belarus during the election and post-election period and interference from outside in the affairs of our country. Everything is going on, including information weapons.

The President talked with journalists for more than two hours. Sharp topics were not ignored. The conversation turned out to be informative and frank.
