Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said that Alyaksandr Lukashenka has no legal basis to remain President of Belarus. She said the West did not recognize the elections.

He stated this during an online speech in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

According to her, the countries that continue the dialogue with Lukashenka do so at their own risk.

“Not a single international organization recognized the results of the elections in Belarus. The citizens of Belarus also refused to acknowledge these falsified elections. This means that Lukashenka has no legal basis to remain the president of our country. He no longer represents Belarus. “, said.

Let us remind you that the European Union is discussing the possibility of imposing sanctions against the President of Belarus.

Furthermore, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the EU will toughen sanctions against Belarus if Lukashenka does not respond to demands to stop the mass arrests.
