“It is announced that more than 30 cities and towns have been protesting against citizens, people have taken to the streets with a transparent voice counting and announcing. Voters went to the polls demanding a transparent electoral recount. The figures that have been published do not reflect reality at all. Belarus has come together and yearns for freedom and change, ”explains Mita on the Delfi Day program.
“I was on the main streets where there were clashes with OMON. The first clashes began at 10 in the morning, water cannons and rubber bullets were used, there are more than 3,000 people arrested, more than 100 injured and, according to unconfirmed information, 3 victims ”, he says.
Mr. Mita says he saw an intense movement of military equipment in the city on Sunday night, counting at least 25 explosions, which he said were intended to scare people: “I counted about 20 ambulances in half an hour. The question was whether it was an ambulance or a way for the power structures to approach the protesters. “
According to him, the number of victims has not yet been officially confirmed, there has been no internet connection in Minsk for the past 30 hours, which makes it difficult to obtain more reliable information. However, Mr. Mita has no doubt that these events demonstrate that Belarusians can mobilize even in the most difficult circumstances.
“On Sunday, many thousands of Belarusians of different ages, professions experienced for the first time what allowed them to be a nation, a worthy people, and I have no doubt that the extension and the reaction of the authorities will be even more desperate,” Mita said.
“1.1 million Belarusians have registered on the platform to demonstrate that they do not believe in the data published by the electoral commission, they have been able to upload their ballots, provide an alternative to vote counting and finally we have the first case of tangible examples of massive electoral fraud ”, Delfi Day. M. Mita watching the events in Minsk.
According to him, he is scheduled to go out again on Monday at 7:00 p.m.
Tub: Lukashenko certainly did not win the election
Andrius Kubilius MEP says he sees the events of the last few days as a revolution.
“Lukashenko certainly did not win the elections and I dare say that Tikhanyovskaya won. We are seeing a very strong change in Belarusian society, the birth of a new nation that dares to fight for change, for its rights. These changes mean that changes will take place in Belarus. The question is how long Lukashenko will try to resist how the West will react. Lithuania can play a very important role here, “the politician is convinced.

“The actual votes are on the side of Tikhanovskaya, as evidenced by the number of committees in which the votes were officially counted. This is how the votes are going to be counted in all districts, and if not, we are treating Lukashenko as if the elections were being stolen and it must be returned to the people. The EU must demand exactly the same, “says A. Kubilius.
According to him, the European People’s Party had already issued a statement demanding this on Monday, and the Polish prime minister demanded an urgent convocation of the European Council.
“It must be said that Lukashenko’s continued presence as presidents is illegal. An increasing number of personal sanctions can be imposed on both those who stole elections and those who beat people in the streets.” The illegitimate regime cannot participate in the distribution of EU funds needed by the people of Belarus, public organizations and even companies, “said the politician.
According to him, so far Lithuania’s opportunities to do something due to the ongoing protests are quite limited.
“There is an opportunity to urge the government not to use force, to offer the role of mediator as in Ukraine, but the main thing – Lukashenko must understand the reality – time is up.” He may seek help from Russia or something else, but as Ukraine’s experience shows, he has not saved this country, “believes A. Kubilius.
The riots can continue
Vytis Jurkonis, a professor at the Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science (VU TSPMI), says Lukashenko’s term is not necessarily guaranteed.
“We have seen in the protests that the energy of civil society is quite high. I would not rule out the scenario that people take to the streets for several days in a row, the crucial question is how much brute force will be ready to go against their own people ”, says the political scientist.

“We saw that some were ready, but some, especially in the smaller towns, were not ready or scared. Information reached us that OMON had lowered its shields or even started to run away from people. It still would not have declared victory for Lukashenko, even though he confessed it to him, ”he adds.
According to the political scientist, several myths were shattered on Sunday: “One, Lukashenko has no public support. Lukashenko has alternatives and they have not been sufficiently appreciated. Belarusians were said to be passive, another myth shattered. The fourth thing is that the Belarusian government has absolute control over everything, that is questionable. And the fifth thing the Kremlin wants to change in Belarus it is not. Lukashenko is Putin’s man. If change were to take place in Belarus, it would send a signal to the Russian people that they too can do it. “
