October 29, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has instructed Minsk city officials to help Viciebsk, Mahilo\u016d and Homiel regions with constructing dairy farms better equipped to produce cleaner milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don’t help them, they won’t vote for us,” he said. “They will screw up the election. That’s why we need to promise them to build at least one farm in each [region].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian ruler also told U\u0142adzimir Kuchara\u016d, chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee, that he will back him up if Minsk does not find enough cash for the purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus will hold its seventh presidential election from January 21 to 26, with the whole election cycle limited to just three months. The previous 2020 presidential race was marred by police brutality against peaceful protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka, his supporter Aleh Hajdukievi\u010d and exiled opposition politician Juryj Hubarevi\u010d have already announced their bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country has not held a single free and fair election since 1996 by the standards of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
