Who is “Europe’s last dictator”?

Four years ago Belarus’s dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, stole a presidential election. Belarusians have just voted again, in parliamentary and local polls. This time there was little chance of a repeat of the protests that followed the rigged vote in 2020. How has Mr Lukashenko tightened his grip?

Russia and Turkey are also partly Europe, so he isn’t the last dictator.

There's at least four dictators in Europe right now.

Actually and unfortunately not the last. Putin is the first one. And also some EU leaders "play" in the same game, such as Orban, for example, and etc.
But, yeap, he'll be last... Whom Putin would like to eat, if not only China will eat Russia first and faster (And this is happening now...)

It has been over a month since the economist last posted a video, why is that?

[heartborne]

why do people let it be... why do they obey such a regime

[PaoloMarinelli-slxu]

Formally Belarus don't take part of Europe.

"Europe's Last Dictator" Well, for now. I have big plans ;)

[Alexandrashal]

Belarus president walking like Taje country

[niftynige]

What would happen if the people simply stopped working and paying taxes?

[alexmathews]

You're forgetting Russia and North Korea

[ruslanaghayev]

Unfortunately this video did not show that Lukashenko had received "mandate" from West by present them C-300. I would not be surprised if Lukashenko will earn new "mandate" by present of Putin to West...

[TheGeorgianSmoker]

I actually respect Lukaschenko even for his dictatorship in Belarus because he's the biggest ally of Putin. I mean Belarus is a beautiful country. It's more like in the Soviet Union. But I still define Belarus as Europe's North Korea

თქუენ კი ...
ბატონო პრეზიდენტო !
დაგლოცოთ
ყოვლად წმინდა დედამ

[pancakec]

I would say he's more like one of Europe's first dictators

[ogone]

When the west calls you a dictator you are doing something right 😂

[SueFerreira]

Why on earth would you think dictators are going away?

[Neutralino]

Definitely not “last” with Putin about.
