Belarusian leader disputes the fact that governmental clans influence his decisions

Alyaksandr Lukashenka is addressing the Belarusian people and the National Assembly today. The Belarusian leader has refuted the fact that “governmental groupings” have influenced his decisions taken recently.
According to Lukashenka, there are rumours that there is “a new team” in the government (including his sons) exercising influence on him.

"They are rumoured to turn the history towards liberalization… My dear people, calm down, I am still able to shape the policy and take decisions myself…

They say there are groupings formed around the President that exercise pressure on him and say: “Come here, go there”. Calm down. The President is in normal condition. However, I tend to listen to others more…”, - said Lukashenka.
