CIS Secretary-General: The West Has No Moral Right to Lecture on Elections

27 January 2025

Western nations have no moral authority to lecture CIS countries on how to conduct elections, stated CIS Secretary-General and head of the CIS election observation mission in Belarus, Sergey Lebedev. His remarks followed a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

 

"They (Western countries) have absolutely no moral right to judge our elections. I spent many years working in the West, in West Germany and the United States. I’ve seen their so-called 'democracy' with my own eyes. What are they even talking about? They have no moral grounds to teach us," Belarusian news agency BelTA quoted Lebedev as saying.
