December 24, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka, head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, a Polish-based Belarusian opposition group, has branded presidential candidates as “fake people” and called on Belarusians to vote against all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is the only public activism possible today, and it should not be rejected,” he said in a Telegram post yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his opinion, the electoral process is completely controlled by Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, and the other candidates are just his sparring partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stop sliding into the dark past, Belarus needs real contenders representing the interests of society, not figureheads, \u0141atu\u0161ka argued, but people who could really challenge \u0141uka\u0161enka are either in prison or have been forced to leave the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on Monday, the central election commission registered five presidential candidates, such as \u0141uka\u0161enka, his supporters Aleh Hajdukievi\u010d, Alaksandar Chi\u017eniak and Siarhiej Syranko\u016d, as well as former opposition MP Hanna Kanapackaja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
