National Anti-Crisis Management:
The results of the work of the Museum of Free Belarus, a project of the National Anti-Crisis Management, are as follows:
☑️ More than 150 events were held, with over 8,500 participants, including three meetings of the United Transitional Cabinet and several meetings of the Coordination Council.
☑️ More than 40,000 euros in sponsorship was attracted to support the activities of the Museum and Belarusian culture.
☑️ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland and the National Center of Culture, in the presence of the Vice Prime Minister of Poland and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, donated posters from the "White-Red-White" collection to the Museum.
☑️ The Museum established partnership relations with the German Embassy in Poland, the Delegation of Flanders and the Baltic countries in Poland, and the Canadian Embassy. Cooperation was also established with various organizations, including the Mieroszewski Centre, the Old House of Culture, and the National Institute of Museums.
Results of the work on sanctions pressure:
☑️ The EU, USA, Poland, Ukraine, Canada, Great Britain, and other countries imposed sanctions against more than 340 individuals and dozens of organizations associated with the Lukashenko regime
☑️ Proposals were prepared to improve the sanctions policies of the EU, USA, and other countries, including the harmonization of sanctions against the Lukashenko regime and Russia, trade regulation measures, and financial restrictions. Over 100 letters were sent to partners.
☑️ A campaign was conducted to counter lobbying efforts to weaken sanctions on potash fertilizers, resulting in the maintenance of sanctions on potassium.
☑️ Analytical documents were developed and sent, providing an analysis of the consequences of current sanctions and proposing measures to increase efficiency while minimizing "side effects."
A special "recognition" of the importance of our work: during the year, the Belarusian regime opened five new criminal cases against members of the NAM team, and the property of NAM team members was seized. Throughout the year, we received at least ten threats of physical harm and dozens of threats of violence.
However, the National Anti-Crisis Management will not cease its work. Throughout this year, we have labored for the benefit of Belarusians and for the future democratic, European, and independent New Belarus. We will persist!
We would be grateful for your support of our work. If you would like to help NAM, please refer to the link.
Long live Belarus!
