European Parliament

A fortnight ago we saw the end of the bizarre Belarus elections, naturally won by Alexander Lukashenko. These elections were rigged by the use of force, of the Belarusian KGB, the police and the army.
Mr President, what was the European Union’s and Parliament’s response to this situation? Many observers were arrested, as well as journalists and a Polish Member of Parliament. Some of them remain in prison to this day.
Whereas we have been concerning ourselves with elections in Liberia and various elections in exotic states, we did not even send an effective delegation of observers to Belarus. The European Parliament and the European Union must take up a very firm and decisive position on Belarus, so that we can finally overthrow the last bloody dictatorship in Europe.
