Lukashenko sworn in as president of Belarus

Unread post by AHE »

"Alexander Lukashenko was abruptly sworn in for his sixth term as president on Wednesday

The ceremony, which was not aired on state television, took place amid an accumulation of equipment and military personnel in central Minsk, according to a report Wednesday from the Belarusian news agency tut.by. It said the capital’s main roadways were also blocked, except for the presidential cortege, which drove to the Palace of Independence, where the ceremony was later held.

Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya, who protesters claim defeated Lukashenko at the polls, said that he was attempting to "recognize himself as legitimate" in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

Pavel Latushko, who also fled from the country, said that Lukashenko's inauguration resembled a secret “thieves’ meeting.”
