lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the harassment and persecution endured by the Polish minority in Belarus are widely known. The 1995 Council of Europe framework convention on the protection of national minorities is being systematically and brutally infringed as regards the Union of Poles in Belarus and also other minorities such as the Roma. All this is happening in a European country located just across the Union’s external border. The European Parliament traditionally and quite rightly responds to violations of human rights, including the rights of national minorities in different parts of the world. Parliament cannot therefore remain indifferent to events in Belarus. The Independence and Democracy Group supports the draft joint resolution, especially concerning the situation of Poles in Belarus. I therefore call for priority to be given to supporting the Union of Poles in Belarus and its legitimate leaders. Aid should be channelled primarily through Polish bordering regions. It should be clearly understood that the key to a genuine solution to most of the problems in Belarus is not actually held by Mr Lukashenko, but by his Russian godfather Mr Putin, a former KGB officer. Mr Putin and Mr Lukashenko both resort to the methods of the secret services of the former Communist regime. The European Parliament would do well to keep this in mind."@en1
