Belarussian Communists Condemn Czech Party Ban, Highlight Military Buildup

Belarussian Communist Party Condemns Czech Party Ban, Highlights Security Buildup Ahead of Elections MINSK, BELARUS – The Belarusian Communist Party (BCP) has issued a strong condemnation of recent attempts to ban the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM) in the Czech Republic. In a video statement released on June 2nd, 2025, the BCP expressed its solidarity with its Czech comrades and called on all representatives of the international communist movement to show support. The statement was made by a prominent member of the BCP, whose identity was not disclosed in the video. The video also draws attention to recent promotions within Belarus's security apparatus, notably the elevation of Michal Kudełka to the rank of Lieutenant General and the appointment of Karel Řeheka as Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Army. These appointments, according to the video, significantly bolster the power of the military and the security services. "The government is surprised that citizens are concerned about election manipulation," the speaker asserts in the video. The speaker further adds, "We will do everything to prevent manipulation." This statement hints at concerns about the fairness and transparency of the upcoming elections in Belarus. The BCP's statement and the video's focus on the strengthening of Belarus's security forces raise questions about the political climate in the country and the potential implications for the upcoming elections.
