Waldemar Herdt: Love your country, because you don't have another Belarus

Belteleradiocompany continues to accept congratulations on the great Victory Day. For 77 years, this historic date has been one of the brightest, most solemn and meaningful for our people. The most sincere and warmest wishes come from the famous German politician Waldemar Нerdt.

Waldemar Нerdt, member of the 19th Bundestag (Germany):

If you take the percentage of victims of the Great Patriotic War, Belarus probably suffered the most. I think that it is the task and the duty of any civilized state not to let us forget about the problems that may arise if we take frivolously the manifestations of Nazism. It's good when Belarusians are proud to be Belarusians, and it would be nice if Germans also learned to respect their nation and be proud to be Germans now. White Russians are wise Slavs, and let this wisdom be a characteristic feature of your people.

The deputy sincerely wished the Belarusians to love their land, because they have another Belarus, and they have no other land. "Love it and don't let it be robbed mentally or physically, because you have a special position on the European continent," continued Waldemar Herdt. - And I think a lot will depend on your position, on your role. You have to be wise, you have to be restrained, but also you have to be decisive in order not to let the evil penetrate inside the country and not let that evil influence from outside. Stay true to yourselves. I believe that your people have a special mission - to be a kind of anchor of stability in the middle of a raging sea.”
