"Madam President, the deterioration of relations with Belarus places the EU in a paradoxical and undesirable situation – that of having diplomatic tensions with a neighbouring state, a member of the Eastern Partnership. However, this state of affairs will change only when Lukashenko’s regime ceases its political repression of the opposition and civil society. The reaction of authorities is only isolating the country internationally. For instance, the latest report submitted by Reporters Without Borders lists Belarus as an enemy of the Internet because of the restrictions on online expression, while the IMF has recently announced its refusal to negotiate a loan with this country. However, it is primarily the population who feels the economic consequences.
I would have liked to ask the High Representative how we can limit the effects on citizens, while maintaining a firm attitude towards the authorities."@en1
