".
The Belarusian regime is clearly a dictatorship riddled with corruption, which oppresses its people. Implying that swifter progress on the road to a market economy would be a source of hope for the Belarusian people, however, is to ignore the many dozens of poor countries throughout the world, such as Haiti and almost all of Africa, which are thoroughly integrated into the market economy and some of which, nonetheless, live in even greater poverty, under the yoke of equally despicable dictatorships. Not to mention countries such as Argentina which, although it is wealthier than Belarus, has similarly seen its working classes plunged into poverty by the unpredictability of the market economy.
Furthermore, the report compares an undemocratic Belarus with a Russia that is portrayed as democratic. The most vehement eulogisers of the change in the Russian regime are nonetheless forced to recognise the extensive corruption among the clans that run the country, the reign of official or criminal mafias and the appalling monetary gain of some through pillaging as the population in general grows poorer, not to mention the horrors of the war in Chechnya. In view of this, there is no question of our supporting this text."@en1
