Ok, but did she *actually* say that? In any case I know in the past (Poland 80's, Ukraine 2014) the promise of securing foreign loans was actually the key advantage of the opposition parties.
Because the typical argument for preserving status quo goes like: wait, if we split from Russia, they won't credit us anymore. So promise of loans = promise of independence from Russia.
@kravietz @dump_stack @bad_immigrant But she did say that, it goes through her entire political platform: https://tsikhanouskaya2020.by/moya_programma/
Remember that she never intended to run, she never intended to become a leading opposition candidate; she only appeared on the ballot because Lukashenko denied her husband access to ballot; and she only became a leading opposition candidate because Lukashenko denied two other opposition candidates (each more popular than her husband) access to ballot.
