In Belarus, the date of Lukashenka's next election has been set
Elections in Belarus were scheduled for January 26, 2025, which was announced at a meeting of the House of Representatives.
Ihor Karpenko, the head of the Central Committee of Belarus, said that the commission is fully ready to start the election campaign.
At the same time, the democratic forces of Belarus have repeatedly declared their intention to seek non-recognition of these elections at the international level.
We will remind that the elections of August 9, 2020 caused the largest protests in the history of the country. Many detained protesters are still in Belarusian prisons.
The results of these elections, where the CEC declared Oleksandr Lukashenka the winner with 80% support, were not recognized by a number of countries around the world.
By the way, 70-year-old Oleksandr Lukashenko has ruled the country for 30 years. None of the presidential elections (2001, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2020), except for the first (1994), were recognized as free and fair at the international level.
Thanks to the victory of Ukraine, Belarus will also be able to become free
Pavlo "Uncle" Shurmey is convinced that immediately after the Armed Forces finally defeat the Russian army, the Belarusians will have a window of opportunity — they will finally be able to defend the independence of their homeland, and the people will return power to their hands.
In order for this to happen as soon as possible, thousands of Belarusian volunteers joined the defense of Ukraine in its war against the Russian Federation.
T.v.o. the commander of the Kalinovsky Regiment also warned that Russia, in whatever form it exists, will always prevent the development of both Ukraine and Belarus.
People should understand that freedom, independence — you will not get it just like that. In 1991, when Belarus became independent, and this independence simply fell from above. The Soviet Union has collapsed, please keep your independence. People did not understand the price of this independence... And unfortunately, people understand when it is fought for with blood, health and hard work, — concluded "Uncle".
