The dictator of Belarus, the former Eastern European country of the Soviet Union, Alexander Lukashenko, 66, began his sixth term. On the 23rd (local time), foreign media such as CNN reported that Lukaschenko secretly held an inauguration ceremony and entered a new term. Lukasenko was sworn in as the first president in 1994, when Belarus gained independence from the Soviet Union, and has ruled the country for 26 years.
According to foreign media, the Belarusian government did not disclose the president’s inauguration schedule in advance. Meanwhile, on this day the presidential inauguration ceremony was held. If the inauguration schedule is announced in advance, it is interpreted that there is a concern that the event will be interrupted by the intervention of the opposition party to protest against the presidential election. Most democratic countries hold large-scale inauguration ceremonies, such as inviting national representatives for the inauguration of the president elected by the people.
At the inauguration ceremony that day, Lukashenko placed his right hand on the Constitutional Code and took an oath in Belarusian, followed by the president of the Central Election Commission, Lydiya Yermoshna, handing him a presidential identification card. Only hundreds of people, including social leaders, were reported to have participated in the opening ceremony, and soldiers were deployed around the site.
At the inauguration ceremony, Lukashenko said: “In the presidency of the Republic of Belarus, I strictly swear to serve Belarusians, to respect and protect the rights and freedoms of citizens and to uphold the Constitution.” I will implement it. ”
The opening ceremony held on this day was criticized by opposition parties, such as’ thieves’ meetings’ and ‘gwangdaegeuk’. Local media originally expected the presidential inauguration ceremony to take place around the 29th. However, as the inauguration ceremony took place on that day, opposition parties and citizens rebelled, and thousands of protesters they left the capital, Minsk, shouting the overthrow of the president. Svetlana Tihanovskaya, an opposition leader who fled to Lithuania immediately after the presidential elections for fear of terrorism against her family, emphasized in a statement posted on the Telegram channel that “I am the only leader elected by the people and this inauguration ceremony it’s powerful. “
