The UCP will have to adapt to new conditions, so it will set up branches abroad, he added.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Most of Belarusian Greens Party activists remain in Belarus, said its leader D\u017amitryj Ku\u010duk. The Greens will continue their activities regardless of whether they are re-registered or not and plan to prepare for the 2024 parliamentary and local elections, he added.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Political organizations that adhere to democratic principles and the European choice for Belarus will jointly announce further plans after the completion of party re-registration, Ku\u010duk noted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Authorities will not be able to shut down political parties over the next few days, Ihar Barysa\u016d of the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada) said. Some 10 percent of Hramada&#8217;s members fled Belarus fearing politically-motivated persecution and may resume their activities abroad, he noted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Belarusian democratic political parties stand united as never before, said Anatol Labied\u017aka, advisor on constitutional reform and inter-parliamentary cooperation to opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Nine political parties rally round a common platform against Russia&#8217;s war on Ukraine and dictatorship. Their representatives will participate in the meeting of the Council of Europe\u2019s contact group on Belarus, Labied\u017aka said.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t On February 14, Alaksandr \u0141uka\u0161enka signed into law a bill governing political parties and public associations after it was rushed through the National Assembly. The new legislation would require all functioning parties to re-register. Critics fear that the reregistration campaign is just a pretext to shut down the few surviving opposition parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 5, BPN.
