KILZ FILLZ Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Some wild shit going down. What a crazy year The president was elected directly to serve for five years. Incumbent Alexander Lukashenko was re-elected to a sixth term in office (with about 80% of all votes in his favour according to official results), having won every presidential election since 1994,[3]with all but the first being labelled by international monitors as neither free nor fair.[4] Opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya declared herself the winner of the elections and called on Lukashenko to start negotiations, meanwhile, her campaign team stated that they were ready to hold "long-term protests" against the official results.[5] All opposition candidates have filed appeals to the Central Election Commission of Belarus (CEC) calling for the results to be invalidated.[6] The election was marred by allegations of widespread electoral fraud.[7][8] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Belarusian_presidential_election *** Massive “internet outage” during election https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/belarus-experienced-nation-scale-internet-disruption-during-election-says-web-monitoring-group/ar-BB17MTSj *** Contested pres gets heckled by factory workers yelling “go away!” And he replies “you’ll have to kill me for a new election” https://www.foxnews.com/world/belarus-president-heckled-election-results *** state media broadcast an empty studio because the newscasters walked out in solidarity with other reporters striking https://m.dw.com/en/belarus-television-broadcasts-empty-studio-as-state-media-joins-general-strike/a-54593079 *** Putin warning European nations that outside intervention may lead to some shit https://www.reuters.com/article/us-belarus-election-putin-merkel/putin-tells-merkel-external-intervention-in-belarus-would-be-unacceptable-idUSKCN25E191?il=0 *** Mass protestors alleging torture while in police custody https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/14/europe/belarus-torture-allegations-intl-hnk/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
