Germany will provide shelter to 50 Belarusian oppositionists. Information about this appeared in the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, reports TASS.
“They should be accepted in the near future,” the FRG Ministry of Internal Affairs document says. As the newspaper notes, we are talking about “politically persecuted persons” and their families.
In December 2020, the European Parliament could not translate the speech of the Belarusian oppositionist and asked him to speak in English or Russian. This situation occurred at the ceremonial hearings dedicated to the awarding of the leadership of the protest movement in Belarus with the Andrei Sakharov Prize of the European Parliament “For Freedom of Thought”.
For six months now, mass protests have been going on in Belarus, which began after the presidential elections on 9 August. According to official results, Lukashenko, who ran for a sixth term, received 80 percent of the vote. The opposition considers the elections to be rigged.
