lpv:translated text	"With outrageous audacity, and without citing a shred of evidence even as a pretext, the political forces supporting and serving the EU have signed a joint resolution to condemn the Belarusian Government for the elections of 28 September. The resolution proposed by the political forces of the European Left, through the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, is similar in spirit. It is obvious that the EU and the parties of the ‘European one-way street’ (New Democracy (ND), the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA)/Synaspismos and the Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS)) are aligning themselves with the representatives of imperialism who are rallying round the so-called opposition – the NATO lackey, Mr Milinkevich. This opposition won a ‘surprising’ 6% in the previous presidential elections and failed to win a single seat in the recent parliamentary elections. The election results should silence all the objections of EU and US imperialists, because the people of Belarus are supporting their government’s policy against NATO and the EU. This is what is so infuriating and demoralising for the political forces of the ‘European one-way street’. This time they do not have the pretext of released ‘political prisoners’, or the excuse of a lack of equal publicity for candidates. Now that they acknowledge the existence of such equality, they are shamelessly and high-handedly claiming that the new parliament has ‘doubtful democratic legitimacy’. The MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece condemn both of these unacceptable resolutions and express their solidarity with the people of Belarus in their struggle against imperialist dominance."@en1
