Lyabedzka: Mental Health of Lukashenka Menaces Belarus :: Charter'97 :: News

A chairman of the National committee of the united democratic forces of Belarus, the leader of the United Civil Party Anatol Lyabedzka addressed the Council of Ministers with an appeal for “adjudication of incompetence of a citizen Alyaksandr Lukashenka”. As said by him, recently many Belarusians are concerned by his behaviour, and “a number of public statements made by him at the summit of the Non-Aligned movement, raise doubts about his legal capacity and exercise”.

Thus, in several interviews Lukashenka said that at the latest presidential elections he had been supported by 95% of voters, which contradicts even the official results of the elections. He also said that 99% of young people had supported him, which also contradicts the real situation.

The statement by Lukashenka that “he had been performing a special mission and was acting not only on behalf of his country, but of the whole Europe,” also gives rise to doubt that he can be aware of the reality and judge it adequately, A. Lyabedzka believes. As the Russian press informs, Lukashenka had stated that “a new TV channel in Russian RTVi, is Gusinky’s channel, and a Belarusian – language version of that channel is broadcasted in Belarus, and many things unpleasant for Belarusian president are said there”. In reality, RTVi channel does not have Belarusian version.

“Taking in consideration Lukashenka’s statement that he read Vasil Bykau’s poems, and that he told that Skaryna lived in St. Petersburg and worked there, we cannot be but concerned by his mental health. Lukashenka said: They say that health is the most important thing. Uneducated healthy man is a healthy fool. A real fool. And a healthy fool is dangerous for the society”. It is possible that we are dealing with lack of education, ignorance about culture and history of his own country, but also with an inability to estimate his actions and control them. This is inability,” told the leader of the UCP.

In this connection Anatol Lyabedzka asks to initiate and carry out a psychiatric examination of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

“It is important not only for his health, but for security of Belarus and well-being of its citizens,” the address underlines.
