A referendum in Belarus: What will happen and what should the West do?

— This event examines key events happening in Belarus’ political sphere.

In the latest attempt to cement his power, Aliaksandr Lukashenka’s regime is planning to change the constitution of Belarus via a manipulated referendum. The leadership’s ‘proposals’ were published in December 2021.  

This event examines what will now happen by answering the following questions:

  • Why is the referendum being held at all?
  • How will the democratic movement use the campaign?
  • What, if anything, can the West do this time?
