"Thank you, Mr President. I think that, in spite of being a day too late, the European Parliament wants to send a message today, stating its affection for the people of Belarus. It is a message addressed to a people who, as the facts make clear, is being denied the freedom to choose its leaders. So far, it is of elections that we have spoken in this House. I think that, for the sake of correctness, we have, rather, to refer to the forthcoming event as a vicious process of confirmation. It should be noted that, during the last few months, the European Union has made huge progress in taking practical steps to benefit the people of Belarus. On behalf of the Bureau of the Delegation for Relations with Belarus, I would thank the Council and the Commission, but there is more still to be done. We now have to show strong support for the people of Belarus, especially its young people. The authorities who want to curtail freedom know that young people are the main protagonists of change. The authorities have even closed down RADA, which represents youngsters from Belarus in the European Youth Forum. This is a most deplorable act. We again extend our support to the people, and in particular the young people, of Belarus, and we promise to be with them at their moment of trial."@en1
