MINSK, 18 September (BelTA) – The youth’s sociopolitical engagement should be stronger, Chairwoman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Belarus Lidia Yermoshina said during the Day of Information Sharing held at the Academy of Public Administration under the aegis of the President of Belarus on 17 September to discuss the presidential election in Belarus as the major political event in the country, BelTA informs.
Lidia Yermoshina believes that young people take an insufficient part in the life of the state in general. She expressed hope that the Academy of Public Administration would train true patriotic activists.
The CEC head also took note of sober moods in the society toward the ongoing election campaign in the country. “We need no extremes. I think the society is taking a sober, maybe even cool, attitude to the event. There is nothing bad about it. It means the society has hardened beliefs. People are not waiting for some messiahs, they are waiting for an ordinary efficient manager how is able to run the country,” Lidia Yermoshina stressed.
