If we keep silent today, presidential election will be rigged, too

This is an opinion of one of the leaders of the “European Belarus” Zmitser Bandarenka.

“There are about 1000 international observers and hundreds of journalists of leading world media in Minsk now. We have urged people to come to the Square on September 28 and offer a demand of new free and fair election as a slogan of this action. Only then the voice of the Belarusian people will be heard in Belarus and abroad. We think it may be a foundation for a real discussion in the country – how to make the election really honest. I mean new parliamentary election and new presidential election. That is why, it clear now that if we leave the situation unchanged, results of future presidential election wil be rigged. People will be offered another farce again. A demand of new free election is a slogan of the Young Front, the “European Belarus” civil campaign, and the Belarusian Popular Front,” Zmitser Bandarenka said.
