another state enterprise in Hrodna: "Who voted for #Tsikhanouskaya?" Everybody raises hands!!!

What does it mean? #Tsikhanouskaya could have absolute majority in #Belarus! Now people at state-owned enterpises not afraid to talk to mayors, directors and admit openly for whom they voted. Opposition in #Belarus came to the outpost of #Lukaschenka => this could mean the End

now also state-owned MAZ. People shout: "Elections! Elections!" incredible #Belaruselections2020

Head of the Department for Coordination of Investment Activities of the Investment Department of the #Minsk City Executive Committee quits his job out of #protest #BelarusPresidentialElection

Oppositional song "Peremen!" (Changes!) heard out of the regular bus in #Minsk #Belaruselections2020

Those on strike so far in #Belarus:
MAZ, Terrazit, BelAZ, Bel. State Philharmonic, Belmedpreparaty, Hrodna plant, Hrodna Azot, Hrodnazhylstroj, Integral, Keramin, Market in Lida, MAPID, MTZ

Citizens of Zhodzina (where BelAZ is situated) talked today with the head of city ​​executive committee => they scan "OMON (special police) out of town!"

A doctor of Zhodzina (where BelAZ is situated) addresses the head of city ​​executive committee => "Why have you allowed falsification at our polling stations?"

Strike at MTZ (#Minsk tractor plant) today. Demands of workers political, NOT economical => stop police repressions, free political prisoners, new elections, new staff of Central Election Commission. by @nashaniva #Belarus2020 #BelarusPresidentialElection

#Minsk now. Government Building. People scan: "Go away! We are brothers!" On posters: "We are not sheep (#Lukashenka called protesters sheep), not plebs (Lukashenka about #Belarus ians), we are workers of MTZ (Minsk tractor plant) and we are 16.000". Police does not act so far

#Minsk subway also on strike @tutby

Video: militant lowered his shield, women hug him

Belaruskalij (Salihorsk town) also demand free elections and OMON (police) out of town

on the poster: "We are a nation!". Seems like a protest of socio-economic and anti-#Lukashenka nature is transferring into a national moovement. #Belarus ians learn to be a nation and be solidary with each other

#Minsk now. city centre, near government building => people scan "Victory!"

this elderly woman says she has been attending this square since 1992, but this time she beleives in victory

UNBELIEVABLE: Hundreds in front of BT (Belarusian TV) building scan "Truth!". In the building BT-employees met with Kachanava (Chairwoman of Council of the Republic) and Eismant (Press-secretary of Lukashenka) => BT-employees asked them why the TV-reporting was not objective

!!! Belarusian State TV now

looks like a demarche of state TV (BT) => Programme for tomorrow: 14:25-"The route is made" (a big national opposition rally is planned for tomorrow); 15:15-"The city is yours"; 16:05-"Destiny of giants"; 16:40-Movie "Nobody but us". What do you think? ;)

Buses with employees of state-owned structures on the way to #Minsk. Today a big oppostion national rally is planned. Many people in buses were forced by direction to join the planned pro-#Lukashenka rallies in Minsk under the threat of being fired

#Lukashenka with people in #Minsk! Square in front of government building => people were brought from the whole country (and still it is enough only for one square). At the same time big opposition rally in Minsk and regions is planned (and gathering)

#Lukashenka: "I was obliged to ask you for help... We built an independent state together! ... Do you remember the 90-es? We made it all together." To the opposition: "What do you want? Do you want reforms? What? Tell me! We will start tomorrow! Look! Planes at our boarders ..."

#Lukashenka: "We will die as a state, as a nation - think about it! We do not want government in exile - we want to elect ourselves! They offer NATO to us - black people, yellow and other (not politically correct) - we do not need them! This is our country!

#Lukaschenka: "I removed criminal bands from our roads in the 90-es! I want to ask these youngsters opposition groups: Have you ever heard of that? I will remind you - 32 criminal bands, together with OMON you see today. You asked me to heal people? To educate people? We do it!"

#Lukaschenka: "The opposition do not use masks against coronavirus! They get financing from abroad! We built a beautiful state - who will you give this country to? I WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN EVEN IF I DIE!!!"

#Lukaschenka: "There cannot be 80% of falsification! It is not possible! Who will hold new elections? ... Who is responsible for violence on the streets? They themselves? Why did they go to protest? Our state employees will defend our land!" People scan: Belarus!

#Lukaschenka: "Do not touch teachers! Do not touch state journalists! Do not shame our country! They were jelous of Belarus before, we were a peaceful nation! We will not let us stand on the knees! .. They are being manipulated... they are rats from under the earth"

#Lukaschenka: "We will not give away the state! We will defend it as 1941 Breast fortress! They have to know we are the majority - it is our opinion! It is not about power - I do not need it. They want to free criminals? What will happen to your children? Do not kill your future!

#Lukaschenka: If you destroy Lukashenka, you will destroy a state - it will be beginning of the end! Like in the Ukraine! Do not let them make this fire! You will be poor and ask for bread! Save Belarus! It is already not ours! What will we leave to new generation! Defend state!

#Lukaschenka: I am alive and I will live! Remember! Thank you that you show that you are owners of the state, not them! I stand on knees in front of you - for the first time in my live! You deserved that! Not let it happen, you will never get the state back if it happens!

Revolution in #Belarus live:

#Minsk now. This woman says she never saw such happy people, even during celebrations

In #Minsk subway: subway driver says on speakerphone "Long live Belarus!" (oppositional slogan)

This Afganistan veteran compares actions of #Lukashenka at election night and after with nazi's occupation in #Belarus 1941-44

A young woman: "Aliaksandr Lukashenka, you got 3%, you are not legitimate anymore. Please, leave the country, you have a plain. Otherwise it will be worse for you."

A man: I have waited for this day for 30 years. They all should go. We want to be free.

#Minsk subway now

Is it not just BEAUTIFUL? Btw in front of a monument "Minsk-Hero city" dedicated to liberation of Minsk from nazi's occupation in 1944 and a museum of the Great Patriotic War (1941-45). Just a perfect picture for Russia btw

#Kalesnikawa (one of the women trio) in #Minsk: "Dear authorities, this is your last chance, please take the side of the good and the people! We are majority and we are strong! Only peaceful actions. We love you a lot!" @tutby

a bit of visualisation => for #Lukashenka vs. for changes. #Minsk today

BT (state TV), where employees yesterday showed publicly their support to opposition => today they report about opposition rallies in Minsk (!!!). BT is not a pro-state TV anymore

in front of KGB building in #Minsk

Mayor of #Brest tries to introduce representatives of Department of internal affairs, investigative committee and prosecutor of Brest. People scan "Murders!" "We will not forgive!"

just a lovely poster about women in #Belarus and their role in revolution: "Women, you are so men!" ;)

on poster: Freedom is better than sex

INCREDIBLE!! Workers of a plant in #Minsk (plant workers in general used to be basic electorate of #Lukashenka) scan "Go away!" at a meeting with him today. He might finally realise now he is not populat anymore
