The regime has completely lost its legitimacy and credibility, even in the echelon of officials.
The protest potential in Belarus remains very high. Director of the Political Sphere Institute, Ph.D. in Political Science
Andrei Kazakevich stated this in an interview with Radio Svaboda:
- The problem of legitimacy and trust to the authorities remains, the image of the law-enforcement agencies has fallen to the lowest point in the entire history of independent Belarus. We cannot even say that everyone within the system is satisfied - there is no increase in salaries for state employees. There are no clear benefits for those who suppressed the protests, I mean the second echelon, civilian officials. Their work is uncomfortable, people began to treat them worse. I hold on to the idea that changes will come, maybe it will take a little longer to wait for them.
