General Prosecutor’s Office thinks Lukashenka lies?

Anatol Lyabedzka, the head of the United Civil Party, received a reply from the General Prosecutor’s Office to his demand to initiate a criminal case over 2006 election fraud.

On October 14, the politician received a letter signed by Radzivonau, the head of the department of supervision over legislative execution and legality of legal acts, the website ucpb.org reports.

The General Prosecutor’s Office didn’t take into account the statements by Alyaksandr Lukashenka and chairman of the Brest region executive committee Kanstantsin Sumar, who admitted in public rigging election results in 2006.

As the letter reads, the General Prosecutor’s Office does not have “documental data on rigging the results of the presidential election in Belarus held 19.03.2006 as well as information regarding any other violations of the norms of the Electoral Code recorded during the vote count and announcement of the election results.”

We remind that Alyaksandr Lukashenka said at a meeting with Russian journalists on October 2010 that he had falsified the results of the 2006 election.

“A journalist asks:

Commenting on the results of the 2006 election, you said (I don’t know whether it was your irony or not) you had to falsify the election, to decrease the number of votes for you in order the European Union to recognize the election.

Reply:

This is true.

Question:

You had to decrease the number of votes for you?

Reply:

Yes, I had. From 96 or 97 percent to 87.”

Kanstantsin Sumar, the chairman of the Brest region executive committee, made a shocking statement at a meeting with representatives of the regional media on September 30, 2010. He said: “So many people voted for Alyaksandr Lukashenka at the presidential election in 2006 that we had to decrease the number of votes for him by 16,000.”
