Alena Anisim to run for President

First Deputy Chairperson of the public association Frantsishak Skaryna Belarusian Language Society (TBM) Alena Anisim is not giving up on the intention to run for presidency in 2015. In an interview to BelaPAN, she said that she is putting together a team and talking with people from different organizations.

Anisim said that the current situation "forces to react and move on," because " national patriotic forces now virtually absent in the political field."

Another woman-politician wishing to run for presidency is an activist of the campaign Tell the Truth Tatstsiana Karatkevich. It is assumed that she can be nominated from the project People's Referendum, which in addition to Tell the Truth includes Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada), the Party of the Belarusian Popular Front and the movement For Freedom.

It is assumed that the presidential elections will be held in Belarus on 15 November - this date is given by the CEC as the most probable.
