My response to Lukashenko's proposal to take part in the so-called 2025 elections


Pavel Latushka: Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management, Ambassador

Lukashenko said today: «I just want to advise them, as always, if they want to turn the country around and participate in the presidential elections, prove their case or something else, they need to come and fight in the presidential elections». In your monologue, you remembered me. And I want to answer you.

I am ready to take part in the elections for the post of President of Belarus in 2025. I am ready to take part in the presidential elections and tell Belarusians who you are, what you are like. I am ready to talk about what democratic forces are like, what democracy is like.

However, I have conditions that you must fulfill: stop the repression in the country and release former candidates for the post of president of Belarus, as well as all political prisoners whom you torture in your prisons.

I am ready to participate in the elections if you stop criminal cases against all Belarusians who have been fighting for democracy and freedom in our country for these 4 years, if you cancel all politically motivated sentences imposed against Belarusians. And the sanctions for all this will be lifted. 

I am ready to participate in the presidential elections in 2025 if you provide international observation. If international observers, together with independent internal observers, will be at each polling station during the elections. 

I am ready, but you are a coward.

Of all the things I have listed, you will do nothing. Because you are clearly aware that you have no support in Belarusian society. I will beat you, Lukashenko, even if I am abroad, if you register me as a candidate and ensure independent monitoring of the vote count. It will not be me who will win, but Pavel Latushka, the Belarusian people will win.

I am sure that there are many Belarusian politicians who are ready to challenge you and defeat you.

But you will not allow anyone to participate in the elections except your lackeys, because you are a cheat.

The Belarusian people will never choose you, because Belarusians hate you. You are a coward, a liar and a murderer. The only thing you did not lie about, although you yourself, of course, think otherwise, is that Belarusians will have a new president.
