the Presidential campaign in Belarus is in full swing. To Alexander Lukashenko, it will be the sixth elections. Now the country is the collection of signatures for the nomination of candidates. And, as usual, the process is not without problems: against opponents of the President use force, and the leader of the country does not mince words, calling the candidates “mangy” and threaten them with incriminating evidence.

All the signatures are collected, the CEC registered 14 candidates for President. One of them is a blogger, author of the channel “Country life” Sergey tikhonovskiy stopped by the police for the second time in a month. On 6 may he was arrested for 15 days for participating in the December protests against integration with Russia. Because of this, he could not submit the documents to the CEC as a presidential candidate, the elections decided to go his wife Svetlana. During the week it was supported by over 10 thousand people. The citizens put their signatures, seeing the logo of the channel “Country life” and huge sneakers with the slogan “Stop the cockroach!”

on the Eve of the collection of signatures in the support of the wife of the blogger, Tikhon was again arrested. First it was the attack a woman-provocateur, and when he tried to Dodge him came two policemen. When one of them fell instantly ran riot and was forced Tikhon’s in the car.

it is Noteworthy that Lukashenko informed about the incident before it occurred. “Men there all the fuss about rose, where someone goes and cries. I recently press Secretary reported: the policeman insulted (approx. edited by the participants of the picket), when he made the remark,” – said Lukashenko, referring to Tikhon. However, a run-in with law enforcement occurred after 20:00, and the President in detail about it it became known in the afternoon. Blogger he called “mangy” and said he knows “whose cars he drives”.

However, Lukashenko unflattering comments about all of their competitors. Another candidate – Valery Tsepkalo, Lukashenko suggested to remember “why is it the President fired”. Until 2017, he held the position of Director of the Park of high technologies. Like, if Tsepkalo not confess himself, Lukashenka tells the public.

Not spared the head of the state party and banker Victor Babariko, which the scientists designate the exit in the second round of elections. Previously, he said that he had received an offer to take the post of Prime Minister. With whom he held this conversation, Babariko not reported, but Lukashenko called his word a lie. Supposedly in his government no such he could not offer. The head of state advised the banker to look for work after August 9 – election day.

Belarusian political analyst Dmitry Bolkunets told about the peculiarities of the current campaign:

Tikhon is not independent of the Figurai. He appeared to say out of nowhere, his guardian law enforcement agencies, it shows public channels. Also, I want to note that yesterday, speaking on the day, Lukashenko told fully the plan which was held in the evening. But the role played by Tikhon, has a positive effect. Now you can see how many people are tired of Lukashenko and is ready to line up to vote for an alternative candidate. These are all voices of protest.

the Second candidate – Tsepkalo. Lukashenko carefully recalled his former assistant that he’s got dirt. And if it gets out of control, it will be published. No serious danger for Lukashenko this man is not.

the Person who may be concerned about Lukashenko – Victor Babariko. He’s a banker and as Lukashenko put it, “popped up from under the floor.” His exit was indeed very unexpected. He has a second team at a mass collection of signatures after Lukashenka has managed to overcome a lath in 100 thousand votes. Today Babariko can not only be Lukashenka competition in elections, but actually send Alexander G. retired. And absolutely legal way. For the citizens of Belarus a lot will depend on how you will decide the members of the Commission. If they believe that Lukashenko should remain, they will act as usual. If they are too tired, then they will do it, as it was in 1994, when Lukashenka won against Kebich, whom analysts drew 80% of the votes in the first round. For Belarus the moment of truth. We are expecting a very important two weeks, which can seriously change the Belarusian political landscape.
