Democrats burnt their IDs of MP candidate (Photo, video)

MP candidates of the European List burnt their IDs of MP candidates near the building of the Central Election Commission in protest of rigging of the “parliamentary election“ results.

Activists of the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Narodnaya Hramada) Vasil Vavrenyuk and Viktar Kantsavenka burnt their IDs. Vasil Vavrenyuk run for MP in Belavezhski constituency #8 (the Brest region), Viktar Kantsavenka run in Buda-Kashalyova constituency #38 (the Homel region).

The democrats have decided on this step in protest of active using of administrative resource during the “election”, forcing to early voting and refusal of the authorities to allow independent observers to control the votes counting.

“This “election” is carried out under strict control of the power vertical. The civil society can’t control this process. I tripped around my constituency and made sure that all officials were said: if a pro-governmental candidate doesn’t win, they will be dismissed. A great number of violations are noticed at the early voting. Workers of collective farms are got to polling station on buses, they don’t known who they vote for, they vote for a candidate they are said to vote for,” Vasil Vavrenyuk told to the Charter’97 press center.

“About 40 per cent of the voters have voted early in my constituency. Nobody controls this process. I want to demonstrate my attitude towards this “election” to people, in order they won’t be surprised later at forged figures, the officials will write,” Viktar Kantsavenka told to the Charter’97 press center.

After Viktar Kantsavenka has withdrawn, the “election” in Buda-Kashalyova constituency #38 is non-alternative.
