Alexander Lukashenko, the selfproclaimed president of Belarus, has said that a woman cannot be the president of the Republic of Belarus.
Source Belarusian state news agency BelTA, citing Alexander Lukashenko Quote from Lukashenko God forbid a woman is elected president in Belarus.
The US president has different powers there are nuances.
The Belarusian president is also the commanderinchief.
Besides, its a tough job.
No need to give a woman so much work, its not a ceremonial position.
Maybe thats the style we will adopt eventually.
But for now its different.
I bow down to women, I do not belittle their role at all.
But they have to remain near men.
Background Alexander Lukashenko has been in power in Belarus for 30 years now.
After largescale fraud in the 2020 presidential election, mass protests erupted in Belarus.
The protesters demanded new and fair elections, the release of political prisoners, and accountability for the beating and torture of peaceful protesters.
Lukashenkos regime suppressed the protests, and thousands of Belarusians were persecuted, tortured, imprisoned, or forced to emigrate.
One of Lukashenkos opponents, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, is the head of the United Transitional Cabinet, a Belarusian democratic government in exile, and lives abroad.
Tsikhanouskayas associate, member of the Coordination Council of the Belarusian Opposition, and one of the most prominent participants in the 2020 protests in Belarus, Maria Kolesnikova, is serving a prison term in a general regime colony.
