November 7, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has criticized Germany’s political turmoil in an interview with the Belarus 1<\/em> television channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Germany started shaking today. They will kick that Scholz out of his office, and Germany will come to its senses,” he said. “Cheap gas, cheap energy, the world’s leading economy, a global miracle \u2013 where are they today? They have sunk deep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Germans “are not fools and will make the government work the way it should.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 6, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP), sending the ruling coalition into turmoil. The opposition Christian Democrats demanded a new parliamentary election. The government may face a vote of confidence in mid-January, according to local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholz has consistently expressed support for the Belarusian pro-democracy forces and met with their leader, \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
