Poland will not recognize Belarus’ upcoming presidential election, scheduled for January 26, upper-house Speaker Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska said on Thursday.
She made the statement after meeting in Warsaw with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who is visiting Poland.
Kidawa-Błońska called the planned election a "sham," and added that elections cannot be considered free when political opponents are jailed for seeking democracy.
She said she hopes parliaments in other European countries will also refuse to recognize the vote.
She emphasized the need to hold Belarusian strongman leader Alexander Lukashenko accountable for human rights abuses, insisting he must face consequences for his actions.

Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994, never relinquishing power. The previous presidential election in 2020 triggered the largest protests in the country’s history after the official results gave Lukashenko 80.1 percent of the vote and Tsikhanouskaya 10.1 percent.
The opposition dismissed the outcome as fraudulent.

We've wasted billions there and the sanction war with Russia is crippling European economies.
That’s ok, Romanians are about to administer their brand of ‘justice’ to the Globalists who just stole their election.
LOL! All the Russian tanks are otherwise occupied. They will send nothing to Belarus
Hmmmm…the globalists’ dress rehearsal for the German election next month?
Not impossible, I would think…sadly so.🙁
“Hmmmm…the globalists’ dress rehearsal for the German election next month? Not impossible, I would think…sadly so.”
The Globalists have to do SOMETHING to stop Germany from getting a government that represents the voters, otherwise their Ukraine Project will die and they won’t even be able to blame Trump.
Yes, that is what I‘m afraid of. After all, the 2020 presidential election is still vividly, though not fondly, remembered…
