“My colleagues Symonenko is being harassed, the party's headquarters was burnt, his family members are also being harassed. He visited all European capitals on our request. He was in Vienna, he's just returned from Helsinki. There will be a press conference in Berlin. We meet tomorrow in Minsk, Belarus. I thank Aliaksandr Lukashenka, who will come to the meeting. We will discuss all problems together,” Zyuganov said.
