Amid the turmoil in Belarus over accusations of presidential denial, President Alexandre Lukashenko took office. The opposition and citizens fiercely protested the inauguration of the surprise attack, and the US government said it would not recognize Lukasenko as president. Reporter Cho Seung-hee reports. Belarusian President Alexandre Lukaschenko assumed the presidency due to political turmoil. He shot down the expectation that he would take office around the 29th and took office with a surprise. It was a trick because he was afraid that the opposition would interfere with the inauguration ceremony. In his private inauguration speech, Lukasenko argued that the protests against the presidential elections could not change the regime, but demonstrated that the majority of Belarusians wanted peace and stability. Lukasenko begins his new term with a speech that empowers the army, which is his strong base of support. Opposition candidate Svetlana Tihanovskaya, who took on Lukaschenko, claimed in an SNS statement that he was the only leader chosen by the people and that the inauguration ceremony was nothing more than a sham. Thousands of citizens protested against the news of the inauguration of the surprise attack, and the police responded to the protesters using water cannons and the like. Two women were injured in the process and at least 50 were reportedly arrested. The US government says Belarus’ election results are misleading and does not recognize Lukasenko as a legitimate president. Russia, which has already recognized the Lukasenko regime, insisted that foreign forces should not intervene in Belarus. YTN Seunghee Cho[[email protected]]is.
