Ivan Ivanovich GOLOVATY

Member of the Standing Committee of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus for Foreign Affairs and National Security

Ivan Galavatyi is the Director-General of the state-owned enterprise Belaruskali, which is a major source of revenue and foreign currency for the Lukashenka regime. He is a member of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly and holds multiple other high positions in Belarus. He has received multiple state awards, including directly from Aliaksandr Lukashenka, during his career. He has been closely associated with Lukashenka and members of his family. He is therefore benefitting from and supporting the Lukashenka regime. The employees of Belaruskali who took part in strikes and peaceful protests in the aftermath of the fraudulent Aug 2020 presidential elections in Belarus were deprived of premiums and dismissed. Lukashenka himself personally threatened to replace the strikers with miners from Ukraine. Ivan Galavatyi is therefore responsible for the repression of civil society.

Director-General of the Open Joint Stock Company “Belaruskali”

Ivan Galavatyi est le directeur général de l’entreprise publique Belaruskali, qui est l’une des principales sources de revenus et de devises étrangères pour le régime de Loukachenka. Il est membre du Conseil de la République de l’Assemblée nationale et occupe également de nombreuses autres hautes fonctions en Biélorussie. Il a reçu de multiples distinctions de l’État, y compris des mains d’Aliaksandr Loukachenka, au cours de sa carrière. Il a été étroitement associé à Loukachenka et à des membres de sa famille. Il tire donc profit du régime de Loukachenka et le soutient. Les employés de "Belaruskali" qui avaient pris part aux grèves et aux manifestations pacifiques au lendemain du scrutin présidentiel frauduleux d’août 2020 en Biélorussie ont été privés de primes et licenciés. Loukachenka en personne a menacé de remplacer les grévistes par des mineurs originaires d’Ukraine. Ivan Galavatyi est donc responsable de la répression de la société civile.
