Ales Mikhalevich looks for supporters among cat fans

The lawyer Ales Mikhalevich is collecting signatures for his nomination as a presidential contender at the international cat show, which is taking place in the Republican Palace of Youth in Minsk.  As the politician explained to Euroradio, there is no hidden meaning in choosing the place for collecting signatures. In spite of the fact that the topic of friendship between people and cats has become very popular recently because of the well-known statement of Uladzimir Nyaklyaeu. Mihkalevich says he has planned this action several months ago, as soon as he found out about the cat show.

According to Mikhalevich, all the spectators of the cat show are his potential voters. The politician bases his confidence on the idea that such shows are ususally attended by the people who have rather expensive cats, thus, the middle class. Ales Mikhalevich counts upon the support of middle class at the upcoming elections.

The politician is to spend the whole day at the show. He aslo said participants and spectators of the event actively signed for him.
