Kanapatskaya worries that her bold statement about Lukashenka's resignation was misunderstood
Yesterday, Hanna Kanapatskaya, Lukashenka's two-time sparring partner in presidential elections, influenced by news about events in Venezuela, wrote a post on Facebook, from which it could be inferred that she advised Lukashenka, in order not to repeat the fate of Nicolás Maduro, to agree on a successor and resign. A day passed, and Kanapatskaya wrote a new post, in which she verbosely explained that, as it turns out, she "was not writing about that at all."

According to Hanna Kanapatskaya, the information that became the subject of her previous publication grew "from informal high-level communication." And after this communication, she allegedly realized that
"the American administration is ready to consider and discuss with the current government, in a comfortable timeframe for it, any transitional and interim personalities and candidacies integrated into political processes in Belarus, with the exception of the runaway Lithuanian-Polish 'chapiteau,' the Belarusian opposition in exile, which is making grimaces."
This allegedly inspired her analogy with the Venezuelan case, where Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado, after Nicolás Maduro's abduction by American authorities, as Kanapatskaya is convinced, allegedly "stupidly flies past electoral procedures."
As for Belarusian-American relations, then, in the interpretation of the two-time sparring partner,
"even the right to select and present random nominees to that administration is given to our current government. Because it, albeit with nuances, is internationally subject and internally legitimate. The only question is, will it take advantage of this?"
This is what she allegedly reminded everyone of with her post yesterday. And not at all what everyone thought.
Let us recall that in yesterday's post, inspired by the Venezuelan events, Hanna Kanapatskaya wrote:
"From which a conclusion, obvious for our swampy outskirts, emerges. If someone many times stronger and more influential than you says outright that they recognize your last election result as lawful and legitimate, but only so that you calmly and unhurriedly prepare for departure, restore the mechanisms of not only backroom but also state-public communication through the return of official diplomatic services, and also agree with them on the transit person(s) — then do it. Show everyone who is in the case: with and without mustaches; in skirts and in pants; with experience in public administration and in the private sector. Maybe someone will take a look. Just be careful with those who "smelled gunpowder" — they're not very keen on such. Well, get moving, and don't let it relapse."
