STRATEGY OF BELARUSIAN CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY
2026-2029
Belarusian Christian Democracy declares its strategy for the coming years to be the liberation of Belarus from Lukashenka’s autocratic regime and aggressive Russian influence.
Belarusians who have found themselves in the free world are called upon to prepare to return to Belarus in victory. Belarusians in Belarus must do everything possible to preserve the potential for Belarus’s renewal and European future.
Uniting all democratic forces in the struggle against Lukashism and Putinism on the foundation of the Belarusian language and culture; preparing regional teams ready, should a window of opportunity arise, to work towards restoring independence and democracy in Belarus; exerting a powerful informational and cultural influence on Belarus from Belarusian communities in the free world; supporting families and professional communities; helping to establish and expand Belarusian-speaking Christian communities; and providing comprehensive assistance to Belarusians in Belarus and in exile form the basis of BChD’s strategy for the near future.
Our strategic priorities for 2026-2029:
1. Countering the ‘Russian world’ and Russian hybrid aggression against Belarus
Countering Russian political, informational, cultural and religious influence; defending Belarus’s independence, national identity and European prospects; and conducting media campaigns to influence the formation of public opinion in Belarus.
2. Belarus is part of Europe. Supporting the connections and activities of Belarusians inside the country. Maintaining Belarusian society’s ties with Europe; supporting mobility, education and social contacts, as well as safe forms of civic activity and horizontal connections within Belarus.
3. Defending freedom of conscience and religious communities in Belarus.
Defending the human right to faith and convictions, the autonomy of religious communities and their independence from the authoritarian state, security services and the ideology of the ‘Russian world’; and supporting Christian churches open to other denominations and to Belarusian identity.
4. Supporting the Belarusian language, culture and education in Belarus and the free world. BChD must take on the role of a leading force defending Belarusian identity.
5. Unity of democratic forces. BChD positions itself as a party that fulfils the nationwide Belarusian demand for unity among democratic forces. BChD regards relations with political structures and leaders as a means of strengthening Belarusians’ unity in the struggle against the regime and an aggressive Russia.
6. Establishing regional teams. BChD is preparing teams for individual regions of Belarus capable of facilitating change, implementing it and carrying out reforms.
7. Expanding political representation.
BChD sees its task as increasing the role of the Platform of Political Parties and, through it, the influence of Christian Democrats, and strengthening the role of civil society to achieve broader and more balanced representation in collective decision-making.
8. Supporting Belarusians in exile and defending their rights
Protecting Belarusians against discrimination in exile; facilitating the regularisation of their legal status, access to education, employment and integration; supporting culture; and using the diaspora’s potential to assist people inside Belarus.
9. Preparing to return to Belarus in victory. BChD’s goal is to prepare comprehensively for a window of opportunity in Belarus: to develop leaders of future reforms and personnel for all levels of public administration.
10. Offering a clear, high-quality and well-considered economic alternative to the regime. A social market economy model for Belarus must be a strategic advantage of BChD.
