Slonim: newspaper predicts results of election
The newspaper of the
Slonim District Executive Committee Slonimski
Vesnik didn’t write anything about the collection of signatures for the
nomination of presidential candidates. However, on 10 November it suddenly
published as many as three articles in the column Election-2010 in its front page.
One of the titles is quite eloquent – Representatives
of Opposition Have No Chance. According to this article, an oppositional candidate
has no chance to win at the presidential election. The authors refers to the sociological
poll that was held by the analytical center EcooM
in October 2010, according to which 81% of citizens of Belarus expressed the
opinion that Aliaksandr Lukashenka will retain the presidential position. The journalists
gladly accede to this opinion, ‘forgetting’ to ask whether these 81% would like
to have Mr. Lukashenka as President.
