Pavel Latushko - about what the situations in Belarus and Kazakhstan are similar

Belarusian state, political and public figure

In democracy, a system is created in which people through the elections choose their representatives in power. There is also an opposition that can collect people to rallies that are not accelerated by force and which are not thrown with grenades. The people, if he does not agree with something, transfers their demands to representatives of the authorities through the opposition in parliament.

If representatives of the authorities do not fulfill the conditions, then in the next or early elections their place can take the opposition.

This is a normal procedure for the change of power, it is the transfer of energy from dissatisfied citizens to representatives of the authorities, which ensures the domestic and external security of the state and the development of the country.

This is impossible in dictatorships, therefore it turns into protests that have been held in Belarus since August and now in Kazakhstan. There may be different reasons - in Belarus it is falsification of elections, in Kazakhstan - an increase in gas prices. But the reason is the irremovability of power, the inability to come to the power of the opposition.

Events in Belarus and Kazakhstan show that the process of changes can no longer be stopped.

So it will be throughout the post -Soviet space. What is happening in Kazakhstan gives a clear signal of Lukashenko that no attempts to transit power or new pseudo-constitutions will allow him to maintain power.
