Yarmoshyna Fears That Protests Derail Her “Elections”

Head of the Central Election Commission Lidziya Yarmoshyna called the possible protests of the opposition the biggest threat to the “parliamentary elections” in Belarus.

She said that in her interview to the TV program “Contours” on ONT.

“Various political forces can use the elections as an opportunity to escalate the political situation. All the appeals, that are heard today, show that the participants of 2010 events have not learned anything, even in prison. That is, they are trying to provoke some acts of disobedience. This is the biggest threat,” – Yarmoshyna said.

“We can handle anything else. Everything is under control. I do not see any pitfalls that may arise,” – BelaPAN quotes the CEC head.

The CEC head also said that “bold and conscious actions have deprived some candidates of their deputy status.” “Distribution of propaganda products was banned when collecting signatures. But they still were being distributed,” – the CEC head said.

Earlier, the opposition declared non-participating in the “parliamentary elections” and urged to hold a protest rally in Minsk on September 12.

“We had hoped until recently that the government is aware of the seriousness of the present situation in Belarus. Unfortunately, the current political regime has again decided to save itself by offering to the people not elections, but a farce. The entire responsibility for the consequences of such a decision rests with the government. We refuse to participate in the electoral farce, deceiving the people, to share the responsibility for the government’s disastrous policy,” – the statement of the organizations included in the Rada of the Belarusian National Congress reads.

According to international organizations, all the election campaigns held in Belarus during Lukashenka's rule have been falsified.
