lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, there is not a single indication that the Belarusian regime will change by itself in the coming months or years. It is only under very strong European Union pressure that we can expect anything to happen. Belarus keeps on violating all fundamental rights and civil liberties. Over the past month, we have seen the Belarusian authorities repeatedly demonstrating their disdain and contempt for the fundamental rights of freedom of assembly and expression. We could talk here about the matrix of the unchangeability of Lukashenko and his regime, but we cannot end on that pessimistic note. We should understand that a proper response would be a signal to Belarusians – to the Belarusian nation – that they are welcome in Europe, with, at the same time, pressure on the regime and some very principled words about their violation of human rights. We must not be misled by Lukashenko’s occasional making up to the European Union just to infuriate Russia temporarily, or vice versa. This is unacceptable. What is happening in Belarus has to be evaluated in a very principled way, and more pressure has to be applied."@en1
