Alexander Lukashenko, the re-elected President of Belarus, decided to use hopeless tactics of protecting the Belarusian Constitution, said the political scientist Sergey Chernyakhovsky to a correspondent of the Rossa Primavera News Agency on August 16.
According to the doctor of political sciences, Alexander Lukashenko has used “not quite promising tactics of protecting the Belarusian Constitution.”
Sergey Chernyakhovsky recalls the Soviet film called Admiral Ushakov, where one of Ushakov’s associates says, “Yes, we’ll stop the Turks.” To which Ushakov replies, “It is not enough to stop them; it is not enough to chase them away; our task is to destroy them.” Chernyakhovsky believes that “Lukashenko and other defenders of the Belarusian Constitution use the ’stop-and-chase away’ only tactics.”
According to Chernyakhovsky, one has “to do the same that was done in 1989 in China” in order to implement the latter tactical part of the struggle, that is – the destruction of the enemy.
On August 16, in the afternoon, the Belaya Rus organization held a rally in support of the current political system on Independence Square in the center of the city of Minsk. The newly elected President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko spoke at the rally.
In the evening, an opposition held a rally on Independence Square which gathered much more people than the one that was organized by Belaya Rus.
On August 9, presidential elections were held in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko received 80% of the vote, according to the Central Election Commission (CEC).
