December 10, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Leftist politicians in Minsk yesterday formed a committee to organize a Marxist democratic party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pozirk<\/em> learned that the organizing committee is headed by Siarhiej Kalakin, the former leader of the Just World Party of the Left, which was shut down by the Supreme Court on September 29; Siarhiej Va\u017aniak, a former member of the Just World’s central committee; and Alaksandar Buchvosta\u016d, the former chairman of the Belarusian Labor Party, dissolved on August 2, 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their key goal at this point is to unite their supporters around the organizing committee in an attempt to fulfil the minimum membership requirement of 5,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government has closed down almost all independent civil society organizations and political alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It disbanded 11 opposition, loyalist, or inert parties in the summer and fall: the Conservative Christian Party, Belarusian Patriotic Party, Belarusian Greens Party, Belarusian Social Democratic Hramada, Republican Party, Social Democratic Party of Popular Accord, Belarusian Popular Front, United Civic Party, Belarusian Social Sports Party, Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada), and Just World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pro-government Belarusian Agrarian Party filed for dissolution in early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The justice ministry registered only the Bie\u0142aja Ru\u015b party of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s supporters and pro-government Communist Party of Belarus, Liberal Democratic Party, and Republican Party of Labor and Justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
