European Coalition Free Belarus

The European Coalition Free Belarus (Belarusian: Еўрапейская кааліцыя Свабодная Беларусь) is a political coalition in Belarus which opposes the administration of President Alexander Lukashenko.

In legislative elections held between October 13–17, 2004, the ECFB was part of the Democratic Centrist Coalition which did not secure any seats.

The coalition is formed by the following parties and political youth organizations:

  • Belarusian Social Democratic Party (People's Assembly) (Belaruskaya Satsyial-Demakratychnaya Partyia - Nardonaya Hramada)
  • Belarusian Liberal Party of Freedom and Progress (PFP) (Belaruskaya liberalnaya Partyia Svabody i Pragresu)

European Coalition became the part of the wider United Democratic Forces of Belarus which in October 2005 elected Alaksandar Milinkievič as their candidate for the 2006 Presidential Election.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or free:

    “No European spring had shown him the same intermixture of delicate grace and passionate depravity that marked the Maryland May.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population—the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.”
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
