Lukashenko is tense: what resolution on Belarus was adopted in the European Parliament

Lukashenko tensed up: what resolution on Belarus was adopted in the European Parliament Petro Sineoky

The European Parliament called on the international community not to recognize the so-called “elections of the President of Belarus.” This clearly angered Lukashenko, who would like to establish cooperation with the West.

Belarusian journalist and oppositionist Franak Vyachorka told Channel 24 about this, noting that the European Union supports the democratic forces of the country. And the so-called “elections in Belarus” are just a farce.

What is happening in Belarus

As Vyachorka said, Lukashenko's regime has already begun to say that this is interference in the internal affairs of Belarus. In fact, the dictator would like to at least somehow establish communication with the West.

This resolution is unpleasant for Lukashenko. He hoped that the so-called elections would give a new chance to start trading and communicating with the West. But this will not happen. All these decisions and resolutions are another blow to Lukashenko, Vyachorka noted.

Lukashenko is currently in a difficult situation. His regime is held together by repression. And the Belarusian economy is too dependent on Russia. There are also problems with inflation. And he continues to help Russia in the war against Ukraine.

What is known about the “elections” in Belarus

It is clear that none of the independent candidates can run for these “elections”. Lukashenko has twisted the “legislation” so that only those who cooperate with the regime in one way or another can take part.

He invited four candidates to the “elections” who are so “special” that Lukashenko seems like the “best candidate” against their background.

There is a crazy communist who is nostalgic for the past. There is a pseudo-liberal like Zhirinovsky who talks about the “decaying West”. There is also a businesswoman who is integrated into the system and condemns protests. All of these candidates look significantly worse than Lukashenko. Everything is done so that among these “clowns” Lukashenko seems like a good choice, Vyachorka explained.

According to him, people will be driven to polling stations. If someone does not vote, then the next day at the plant the person may well be fined or deprived of a bonus. In Belarus, almost 50% of society works in the public sector. Therefore, the regime is able to influence them.

Let's add that early voting for the “presidential elections” began in Belarus on January 21. The main voting day will be January 26.
