Belarusians living in the United States staged an action from the office of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington due to the organization’s plans to provide Belarus in the amount of almost one billion dollars. This is reported by Telegram-channel DW.
According to the source, Belarusian emigrants want to achieve from the Foundation to translate the money of Belarus and thus deprive the regime of the President of Alexander Lukashenko. “Let them [the IMF] do not give him [Lukashenko] cash with cash, they still give him some power, and this can not be allowed,” said one of the activists.
Protesters recalled that the IMF was previously refused to pay Afghanistan, where the authorities went into the hands of representatives of the Taliban’s radical movement (prohibited in Russia), and the same measures should be taken with respect to the Belarusian authorities.
Earlier it was reported that the IMF plans to send 650 billion dollars to countries to restore them from a pandemic. Money is allocated by quotas that are determined separately for each member country of the Foundation. They depend on the size of the economy. Belarus accounts for a quota of 0.14 percent of the total volume (about 910 million dollars). The IMF reported that the international community continues to interact with the Belarusian government.
In 2020, Lukashenko refused Lukashenko in paying funds to fight a pandemic, since then the Belarusian leader refused to stop the work of enterprises for a pandemic period, to cancel mass events and sports competitions. He offered Belarusians to be treated with vodka and creamy oil.
