Belteleradiocompany chairman: mass media changed their approach, are holding out admirably

Belarusian media and experts should work together in a co-ordinated manner, developing a strategy of response to outright lies directed at us and fabricated about us in the course of the information war waged against Belarus, said Chairman of the Belarusian TV and Radio Company (Belteleradiocompany) Ivan Eismont when speaking to reporters on the side-lines of the 4th National Conference on the Current Issues of Social Policy and Ideology that took place at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Belarus and was scheduled to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Presidential office in our country

On the subject of the information war waged against Belarus, the Belteleradiocompany chairman has the following things to say, “Our former Western partners pay enormous money to ostensibly develop democracy in Belarus, and in reality, to undermine the state institutions here. Where that money is being spent is another matter. I suspect they are mostly being stolen which is not bad for us, but we still have to remain vigilant. Of course, our state media have lately changed their operational approach dramatically. I think we were right to not use that approach in the past, because times used to be different, and there was no need and no reason for that. We changed our work quickly when it was needed, and I believe we’re holding our admirably.”

As Mr. Eismont further pointed out, few countries in the world are under as much pressure from the collective West as Belarus.
