Political parties to participate in forthcoming elections more actively

25.06.2008 13:49

The parliamentary election campaign that just started in Belarus will be more open than the previous one, Chairperson of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Lidia Yermoshina said after the CEC session.

According to her, no significant changes in the elections legislation occurred, “but the political tone of the campaign might be different.” The elections will be more open not because of the great number of observers, (Belarus has always had the highest density of international observers in the CIS”, but because of a greater representation of different political parties that adhere to different views, Lidia Yermoshina said. She thinks that this parliamentary campaign will see a greater number of representatives of different political parties both in the election commissions and among the candidates for the House of Representatives.

The CEC head also noted that after having talked to the deputies of the current convocation, she “had an impression that only a third part of the parliamentarians plan to run for the seats in the National Assembly of the fourth convocation.” “However, their plans can change; this is why it is hard to project anything. Everything depends on how strong their challengers will be,” she added.

Adesso aspettiamo i commenti copiati dalla stampa americana.
In Belarus esistono 48 partiti politici, sono limitate solo le attività di gruppi fascisti e c.
Tra l'altro, alcuni giorni fa Lukashenko, ricevendo una delegazione vaticana, ha invitato il capo di stato vaticano a visitare il Paese (i credenti sarebbero circa il 40%, e meno della metà sono cattolici). Del resto la chiesa non ha mai creato problemi allo stato. Poi tutta la Bielorussia sa delle passioni omosessuali di Filarete (che ama i maschioni tanto quanto ama i soldoni), mentre i cattolici non sono molto attivi e, al pari della comujnità mussulmana bielorussa (insediatasi sin dal medioevo) non interferisce su questioni come divorzio, ecc.
