March 24, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s officials have invited more than 1,100 people to his inauguration, scheduled for March 25 in Minsk, according to a semi-official Telegram channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Central Election Commission said that \u0141uka\u0161enka won January’s election with more than 86 percent of the vote, the Belarusian opposition and the West dismissed the poll as a sham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration will start at noon, with \u0141uka\u0161enka’s motorcade making its way down central avenues. According to the traffic police, “a short-term restriction on the movement of all types of transport, including public transport, will be introduced” in some quarters from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous ceremony took place in September 2020, amid mass protests after the August 9 election. The event was held in an atmosphere of secrecy, without prior announcement. Only people close to \u0141uka\u0161enka were invited. A wave of arrests swept through the country on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 25, the opposition will celebrate Freedom Day to mark an anniversary of the short-lived Belarusian National Republic (BNR) proclaimed during World War I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Bolshevik army left Minsk in February 1918, local activists proclaimed the independence of the Belarusian National Republic (literally translated as\u00a0Belarusian People\u2019s Republic<\/em>) on the territories with a Belarusian majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the German army retreated, the BNR Rada left Minsk in December 1918 for the Lithuanian Republic, and went into exile in the spring of 1919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
