One of the oldest opposition parties, United Civic Party (UCP) has announced it has serious financial problems. The party wrote on Facebook:
"We are calling on our friends: We have zero in our bank account. 0 rubles 0 kopecks Our bills for the office, internet, phones and electricity are due... Repost! Repost! Repost! Please repost at least if you do not have a spare couple of ruble to wire to our account..."
Another opposition party - the Party of Belarusian Popular Front - also said earlier it had financial problems.
