W cieniu autokracji: Białoruś
Journal Title: Przegląd Wschodnioeuropejski - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The theme of the article is the election to the House of Representatives - the lowest chamber of the Belorussian parliament - which took place in September 2012. Successively, all the issues connected with the election campaign, its course and results are presented, taking the opposition’s situation into consideration. Most attention is paid to national and foreign obse¬rvers’ opinions concerning the proper compliance with democratic rules and procedures during the election. The election to the House of Representatives seems to be of little importance when it comes to the real political authority in Belarus. However, the election campaign seemed to be an opportunity for the opposition to fill an information gap among the voters. The Belorussian opposition’s weaknesses, especially an inability to negotiate, are shown. The election results were not accepted by the UE and most of international organizations. This fact suggests that Minsk will still be isolated and dependent on Moscow’s aid.
