Lech Kaczyński: “Lukashenka must understand that loss of power is normal”

Results of the “elections” in Belarus have become a subject of top level politicians’ comments.

Lech Kaczyński, the President of the Republic of Poland, has made several statements on the subject on air of Radio Bialystok on September 29.

Polish president has stated that he does not believe transparency and democratic nature of the “parliamentary elections” in Belarus.

L. Kaczyński noted that the “election” was a step in a right direction for Belarus, however, “A ballot is democratic only when the regime has no possibilities to control the process [of voting]. “When there are possibilities for control, it always signalize about danger, and means that there is no democracy,” the Polish president said.

To his mind, a process of changing ruling elites should take place in Belarus. “In other words, Lukashenka should be a person who understands that loss of power is not a failure, but it is normal,” L. Kaczyński said. “But there are no signs that Lukashenka finds loss of power a normal process”.
