Alena Anisim, Chair of the Francysk Skaryna Belarusian Language Society and the House of Representatives member has become the seventh person intending to run for the presidency.

In 2015 Alena Anisim coordinated the All-Belarusian Congress of Independence. In recent years, she actively promoted the idea of Belarusian language university and became a member of the organizing committee of the Nil Hilevich university.

She is going to the big politics because she wants to save Belarus from the loss of independence and promote the Belarusian language.

“We would like Belarusian authorities to become pro-Belarusian and care about its citizens,” Anisim said.

She was not able to put together a strong team and introduce changes in the presidential program, but managed to get into the House of Representatives, where she voted against initiatives such as “Parasites Decree”.

“My campaign will be based primarily on the pan-European values, our traditions, and certainly on Christian values,” Anisim added.

Overall only seven nominees are willing to take responsibility for the fate of the country.

Politician Syarhei Skrabets also exhibited an intention to run for the presidency.

“The authorities do not live on a salary. This is evident from their mansions, their cars and mistresses who walk around in fur coats and diamonds,” Skrabets said in December 2018.

Belarusian National Congress has nominated Mikalai Statkevich. After the first attempt to fight for the presidency and the post-election rally, Mikalai Statkevich was imprisoned for 1,500 days.

“People know me. Know who I am, what I can do, what was I did and what I can do,” Statkevich said in mid-January.

Chairman of the United Civil Party, Mikalai Kazlou and Aleh Haydukevichrepresenting the Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus have also joined the campaign. Christian Democrat and a former political prisoner Pavel Sevyarynetswill also participate in political events.

But it is the acting head of Belarus who is planning to win the election.

The philosopher and methodologist Uladzimir Matskevich, who had for many years analyzed the electoral process in Belarus, urged Belarusians not to take part in the electoral farce:

“Every candidate and member of the candidate’s campaign, the voters, who go to the shameful elections in areas where they cast their ballots, which are not taken into account — they are all participants of fraud.”

People want to have promises from a man who at least understands what he is saying, they want them to be a professional.

Even though there is no such profession as “president”, in the post-Soviet Belarus, the duties of the country head belong exclusively to one person.
