Statkevich repeats his TV-speech on radio, while Us refuses to make a radio-speech
Presidential candidates continue to speak on the state radio. Mikalaj Statkevich practically repeated his TV-speech of November 23, on the radio on November 25. Another candidate, Dzmitry Us, spoke just 7 minutes on TV and failed to appear on the radio. Statkevich said again that the authorities were going to rig the presidential election. The politician claimed that Belarus was "the only country in Europe where no one counts votes" and that "it's embarassing before Africa".
BelaPAN notes that the candidate considers it necessary to conduct political reforms, for example, to grant independence of court system, to increase the parliament's authorizations, to limit the presidential terms etc. The politican suggests to abolish the contract system, forcible assignment of the higher educational establishments' graduates and other social measures.
