Lyabedzka: “Lukashenka deceived Europeans”

Today, leaders of opposition political parties have given their estimation of the yesterday’s “election” for the “house of representatives”.

Head of the United Civil Party Anatol Lyabedzka called the campaign “another scenario of elegant victory”, which doesn’t provide for votes counting.

“They didn’t even pretend they counted votes. Why did it happen? Because Lukashenka thinks about the presidential election, about 2011. Making concessions to the Europeans today may be understood as weakness,” Lyabedzka said.

As Lyabedzka thinks, the United Democratic Forces have left the campaign not in their worst state:

“The situation is black-and-white for us now. We shouldn’t guess why some our colleagues have got to the “parliament”, if they would have got there, and we shouldn’t guess what the authorities think. The situation is black-and-white again now.”

Europe has found itself in the worst situation, Lyabedzka is sure:

“I don’t know how to say, but they were deceived. It is a defeat of the European diplomacy, of the European politicians, who forecasted what business could go there. Lukasheka may have received some offers from Moscow, he couldn’t reject, that is why he deceived the Europeans.”
