The organizers of protests in Belarus demand radicalization, Latvian political analyst Einars Graudins said in an interview to Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA has learned.

“Those, who started all this, provided funds, have no other choice: they need blood. I really do not want this to happen in Belarus,” he said.

In his opinion, the Belarusian people are smart. They follow the domestic political processes in the neighboring countries. They did not allow a coup d'etat in the country.

Dmitry Vasilets, a Ukrainian expert and journalist, also believes that if the protesters in Belarus failed to seize power quickly, they will radicalize street movements and, in order to anger the society, will provoke the law enforcers to the most aggressive response.
