State Duma Deputy Chairman, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia Vladimir Zhirinovsky believes that the incumbent Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko will not win a majority in the upcoming presidential election fairly. "He can maximum receive 20-30% of support. No more," Vladimir Zhirinovsky declared.
«Lukashenko behaves in a rude, insolent way. And he’s risking it all. Does he really think that everybody will close their eyes on the falsification of the election?», Vesti.Ru quotes.
However, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party believes that Russians and Belarusians are well related to each other and the reason for the Belarusian-Russian relations deterioration, «abuse and anti-Russian rhetoric» from the part of Alexander Lukashenko, is presidential elections, «where Lukashenko is lagging behind, but is unwilling to leave the post honestly.»
Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that Moscow would not support Alexander Lukashenko at present elections, the Belarusian leader would be seeking support from the West. According to the Russian politician, they could recognize the elections there so that Belarus would take the anti-Russian stance. However, it is «Moscow that has made Alexander Lukashenko president,» Vladimir Zhirinovsky said. «If not for Moscow support, he would have never become president,» the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party stated.
Lukashenko has Remained a Farm Director, Zhirinovsky
«His (Alexander Lukashenko — Telegraf) tongue-tie is explained by the fact that he used to be a farm director, so is he now. He talks the way he used to do on a pig farm — rural labor makes a person coarse. One shouldn’t be a president with such an education and previous work,» Vladimir Zhirinovsky added.
In addition, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party believes that President Alexander Lukashenko prevents Belarus from being part of Russia against the will of the Belarusians and the Union State of Belarus and Russia will never be formed. «No federal state can ever be formed. Only some regions can be included: Minsk, Vitebsk, Homel, Hrodna, Brest and Magileu,» Vladimir Zhirinovsky said.
«We would issue an decree and would make him (Alexander Lukashenko — Telegraf) authorized representative of the Minsk Federal District. Isn’t it a good organization of the state?», the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party added.
