From Belarus president Lukashenko has a right to reign forever

Citizens of Belarus have changed the national Constitution

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko will have a right to run at forthcoming presidential election in the country. This is the outcome of the national referendum, which took place in Belarus on October 17th.

The head of the national Central Electoral Committee, Lidia Ermoshina, said that the result of the referendum is extremely important for the stable situation in the country before the coming presidential election in 2006.

"We have registered numerous violations during the voting process. First and foremost, our observers were denied access to the polls," Vladimir Labkovich from the Belarussian human rights center Vesna told RIA Novosti. Vintsuk Vyachorka, one of the opposition leaders, the chairman of the Belarussian people's front, claimed that the opposition did not have equal possibilities in agitation.

Voters were offered to carry out a tasting of beer and vodka free of charge.
