VILNIUS (Reuters) - Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya denounced Wednesday’s abrupt swearing-in of President Alexander Lukashenko for a sixth term, saying he was “neither a legal nor a legitimate head of Belarus”. “His secret inauguration is an attempt to seize power,” Tsikhanouskaya said in a speech to the parliamentary assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). “It also means that after today Alexander Lukashenko is neither a legal nor a legitimate head of Belarus. The only solution is free and fair elections”, she said.
