President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, September 16, speaking at the sixth congress of the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus, said that the Belarusian opposition leaders are the enemies of the people. "They are not the opposition at all. They are the enemies of the people. Wherever one can do worse for the state, they are there. Yesterday Europe, America pressed on us, and they were there. Today, Russia presses us, and they are already there", the Belarusian leader said.
