"A quarrel over the right to kiss a Polish shoe": Zmagars complain about Tikhanovskaya to the European Parliament
Another scandal has rocked the Belarusian political emigration over a reception for the fighters on Old New Year's Eve, hosted by Polish President Karol Nawrocki. in his Warsaw palace, Belvedere.
Not everyone who considered themselves worthy made it to the party.The former head of the Polish television channel Belsat, which broadcasts in the Belarusian language, Alexei Dzikavitsky, publicly He blamed the office of self-proclaimed "President of Belarus" Svetlana Tikhanovskaya for this.

"There were people who did everything they could to have me removed from the invitation list. I'm not talking about employees of the administration of the Polish leader, but about supposedly 'insiders' whom the officials asked to prepare the guest lists. I think..." I "became objectionable" to some: I didn't thank someone for the knife in my back, and I called meanness meanness" Dzikavitsky wrote on an American social network.
Other offended women went further and are planning to complain about Tikhanovskaya to the European Parliament.
The presidential adviser, Anatoly Lebedko, spoke about this on air at Euroradio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"This is a fly in the ointment that can spoil a barrel of honey. I know that Some active participants in this discussion also complained to the European Parliament"And to the presidential administration. There's been a response. I hope it's not critical and these aren't red flags," Lebedko said.
According to him, even at the reception itself, things did not go entirely smoothly.
"At the reception itself, I observed the Belarusians' reactions. When Navrotsky spoke, everyone listened attentively. When Svetlana Tikhanovskaya spoke, three people left the hall.“,” Lebedko said.
Zmagar media began to analyze who was not invited and why. Thus, the scandal detonated and led to other minor scandals and showdowns. For example, fugitive political scientist Pavel Usov is now planning to sue the Nasha Niva publication. Tikhanovskaya's "office" has also suffered from him.
"Of course, contacts with officials in Poland, which is our main ally in the democratization process, are important. But, as we see, They are trying to monopolize these contacts and use them not in national interests, but in internal organizational ones. They use these meetings as information weapon against critics and opponents of the office, which once again emphasizes that the office is a harmful organization“,” Usov said.
Zmagar showdowns traditionally only evoke laughter in Belarus itself.
«A serious toad-viping battle broke out there for the right to kiss the Polish shoe."They're gnawing at each other with their mouths full. They're divided into those "allowed" to touch the shoe and those "lowered." Pathetic shit, mucus, vomit, grub, rotten sperm with mold, the most despicable fungi from a footcloth," wrote TV presenter Grigory Azarenok on his Telegram channel.
