Lukashenko does not rule out the possibility of holding early presidential elections

After Lukashenko announced that he was acting as a political rookie in the August 9 elections, the opposition candidate Sviatlan Cichanouskaj would win 80% of the vote and unprecedented protests began in the country. For months, tens of thousands of companies have taken to the streets to demand his resignation.

In an interview broadcast by Russian state media on Wednesday, Lukashenko said: A link to hold early presidential elections. I do not rule.

I said it before, he said.

The opposition called on Mr. Lukashenko to defeat the defeat and resign so that new elections that meet international standards can be held.

Reima’s power structures have responded to waves, brutal violence against protesters and a campaign of intimidation and repression against opposition leaders.

The president said it was too early to talk about the exact date of the early elections, adding that the elections must be held after the implementation of the constitutional reforms he proposes.

Cichanouskaya criticized Lukashenko’s plan to amend the Constitution, saying it was a trick to help him stay in power.

Lukashenko, who plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in the near future, also said in an interview that any future steps towards greater integration of the two countries must be based on the principle of equality.

Russia and Belarus are allies. Moscow has recently called for stronger integration, but Lukashenko has repeatedly ruled out the possibility of uniting the two countries.

We are a sovereign and independent state, he told reporters from Russian state media.
