Belarusian Presidential Inauguration Ceremony Electoral fraud accused rebels blame September 24, 3:58
In the former Soviet Union of Belarus, where protests alleging fraud in the presidential election have continued for more than a month, the inauguration ceremony of President Lukashenko was held without prior notice, and rebels are increasingly criticizing.
In Belarus, incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko is said to have won his sixth election in the presidential election on the 9th of last month, while rebels alleging election fraud continue to protest on a large scale.
Until now, the inauguration ceremony of the president has been virtually postponed, but on the 23rd, the inauguration ceremony was held at the Independence Palace in the capital Minsk to celebrate the beginning of the sixth term of the Lukashenko administration without prior notice, and President Lukashenko said "Japan was challenged unprecedentedly, but the revolution was not established," he said.
In response, Mr. Lukashenko's opposition candidate, Mr. Chihanovskaya, who has escaped the suppression of the administration and is currently active overseas, posted a message video on the Internet saying, "The people have not accepted a new term, and the inauguration ceremony will be a farce. He accused him of being the winner of the presidential election.
Russia, which is the backing of the administration, has expressed support for the Lukashenko administration, while the EU-European Union has forced the inauguration ceremony in a position not to recognize it as a legitimate president because of election fraud. It is expected that the conflict between the two sides will deepen in the future.
