Activist says authorities may call early presidential elections 12:25, 30/03/2005
Authorities in Belarus may call early presidential elections this year, Pavel Severinets, an opposition youth leader, said at a news conference in Minsk on Tuesday. “We received information from civil servants that the idea is under consideration,” he said, noting that a decision is expected to be made before May 9, an anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War.
According to Mr. Severinets, authorities have intensified pressure on the opposition and opened criminal cases against opposition leaders in view of the possible early elections.
Pavel Lyogky, spokesman for the Belarusian leader, dismissed Mr. Severinets’ statement as not serious. “Any comments on my part would be simply irrelevant,” he told BelaPAN.
