I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution on the results of the referendum and the parliamentary elections in Belarus. By voting in favour, I wish to express that I share the concern of those who feel that the situation in the country is extremely serious as regards the violation of human rights, and that I share the international community’s view that the recent ‘elections and referendum’ that took place there were neither free nor fair. It is our duty to condemn electoral fraud and to speak out against all those who seek to prevent the citizens from exercising their right to freedom.
The situation in Belarus, a neighbouring country of the EU, is extremely serious. The EU must therefore pay very close attention to it and be in a position to take the steps needed, as in other similar cases, to support democratic endeavours, such as giving young people in Belarus the chance to study in EU countries."@en1
