December 9, Pozirk. <\/em><\/strong>Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja has participated in the opening of the Belarusian Democratic Community Center in Italy’s Florence (Italy), her aide Franak Via\u010dorka told Pozirk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florence\u2019s municipal officials, Tuscany\u2019s regional authorities, local trade unions as well as the Belarusian \u201cpeople’s embassy\u201d in Italy attended the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center will host Belarus-related cultural, educational and political events, helping the local Belarusian community expand its current activities, which include art exhibitions, concerts, political discussions and seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years ago, the Italian government and MPs were among the first to support the Belarusian people\u2019s democratic aspirations, and this support continues, Cichano\u016dskaja stressed. \u201cYou condemned the violence and stood by those who fled reprisals. . . On the international stage, your voice is strong \u2014 in support of human rights, democracy and justice \u2014 and for us Belarusians, it is a ray of hope,\u201d the politician said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja will later attend the opening of a shelter for Belarusian reprisal victims in the suburbs of Florence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
