Svetlana Tijanóvskaya: “Si dejamos que Ucrania pierda la guerra, la pregunta será quién es el siguiente”
La líder de la oposición democrática de Bielorrusia asegura en A Toxa que el futuro de su país está vinculado al éxito de Kiev y a que Rusia quede debilitada
For five years, Svetlana Tijanóvskaya has carried a portrait of her husband, Serguéi Tijanovski, at every public appearance. He was the opposition candidate in the 2020 elections but was imprisoned before the vote. She headed the list during a massive mobilization at those polls, where President Alexandr Lukashenko declared himself the winner with an astonishing 80% of the votes.
Subsequent massive protests against the alleged fraud and a brutal crackdown followed, forcing Tijanóvskaya to flee to Lithuania, where she established a precarious government in exile. Her husband was released this summer alongside around 500 other opposition members, but Tijanóvskaya appeared this Saturday at the La Toja Vínculo Atlántico Forum in Pontevedra, holding another portrait of a man in her hand.
She explained that every day, she selects one of the over 900 political prisoners still held in Lukashenko's jails.
