Lukashenko: We don’t need American show where they get shot in the ear during elections

The president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on Friday met with the heads of regional executive committees and capital city Minsk executive committee, his press service reports.

“Electoral legislation should not be violated under any circumstances [in Belarus]. To be honest, we don’t need it at all. We have to spend this time with dignity so that, first of all, we don’t get all kinds of ‘garbage’ thrown at us from abroad. Also inside, so as not to spoil people’s mood. Elections should be like a celebration. We [i.e. Belarus] don’t need an American show where they get shot in the ear or in the head. We need these elections to be held with dignity, and not to be criticized once again,” said the Belarusian president, speaking about the forthcoming presidential election in his country.
