Lipkovich promises kisses for everyone at "Tell the Truth" picket
Only deputy candidate Tatsyana Karatkevich agreed. Nyaklyaeu, Dzmitryeu and Matskevich refrained from being kissed by the blogger.
Deputy candidate Tatsyana Karatkevich gave the megaphone to "Tell the Truth" leader Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu and culture researcher and political scientist Uladzimir Matskevich and unexpectedly offered them to debate with each other, instead of speaking about herself and her program.
Nyaklyaeu and Matskevich discussed political reforms and reforms of self-government. Both defended the idea that the reforms are necessary, that freedom of choice is needed and that it is time to transfer from the presidential state to the parliamentary one.
A famous blogger Yauhen
Lipkovich appeared
at the ground near the Philarmony right before the picket, allegedly accidentally.
He agreed to make a speech.
Yauhen
Lipkovich: "I
have always thought that elections are better than no elections. Even if these
are elections with predictable result. I don't agree with the boycott idea. For
example, I like this candidate, so I am "for". I don't understand how
it is possible to protest against the people voting for her".
After these words, he strived to kiss
Tatsyana, and when Dzmitryeu joked that he should kiss the candidate once
again, for the photographers, he strived to kiss him and Nyaklyaeu as well, and
promised to kiss everyone.
The picket did not
last long, probably for a half an hour. Pavel
Vinahradau, Alyaksandr
Artsybashau and Yahor
Viniatski joined the event closer to the end. They had been
just released from the Akrestsina Street detention center after another
administrative detention for "swearing".
