People choose prison and exile, President of Belarus Luxto tells the BBC

I have reported on many elections.

When Prime Ministers and Presidents flee to polling stations, they take a few questions when they throw away their ballot papers.

But I have never seen it as a scene in station 478.

Alexander Luxko of Belarus, who was called “the last dictator of Europe”, once called “the last dictator of Europe”. Then, even though the people of Belarus are still voting, candidate Lukashenko was on state television for four and a half hours of press conferences.

It was an opportunity for me to ask him about the controversial choice that the critics dismissed as “a sham”.

“What do you prepare or what have you prepared for me?” he asked. “As you do as you do.”

“Good morning” I replied.

“Good morning, Steve.”

How can you call this democratic election when the main rivals are in prison or in exile? I asked.

“Some are in prison, and some are in exile. But here you are!” Luxto

“Every person has the right to vote. That’s democracy. Some people chose districts, and others chose exile. No one forced us out of the country.”

In fact, in Alexander Luxto, the Steptologists are being pushed into political exile or the authorities who are pushing the protesters into political exile. Personal preference does not enter into it.

“Soon I said, ‘We shouldn’t close people’s mouths,'” I remember.

“But our opponents were not out of the electorate. Some of them have more than 1,200 political prisoners in Belarus. They now have more than 1,200 political prisoners, such as Maria Koleninica, Sergey Tikhanovsky…”

You go to Maria about me. My God, “Luxhan Kofelotal.

“Well, I’ll answer your question. . . . Imprisonment is for people who have their mouths too wide and break the law. Don’t you have prisons in Britain and America?”

“If you break the law in any country, you have to bear the consequences,” he continued. “The law is strict, but it is the law. I did not solve them.

“You want to keep me under the law,” he said, “but these people are in jail when they commit crimes.”

Ignoring the law does not absolve you of your responsibility.

Popular opponents of the opposition, however, were not allowed to run the name of Alexander Lukashenko in the election. There were four other candidates. But rather than the challenges that cause them, they have encountered more of the challenging people that make them the most.

“I talked to the other candidates,” I said. “One of them, the leader of the Communist Party, openly supports. The other is full of praise for you.

“Steve, this is a whole new experience for you!” In the room from local journalists, with laughter and applause,

“That’s true,” I said. I have not seen such a choice before. “

“The policy of the communists is the same policy that we promote according to justice,” argued Lukshahnoko. “Then why are you going after me?”

EU foreign policy chief KAJA KALLAS is the election of this president in Belarus.

Alexander doesn’t seem to care about Luxor.

“If you talk to me about our choices, I hardly care,” if you talk about our choices or know something that you don’t know, the most important thing for me is that the people of Berylus know this. “
