"Madam President, I, too, voted in favour of the statement made on the situation in Belarus. The current human rights and political situation in Belarus is extremely worrying. Also of concern is the fact that the economic standard of living of its citizens over recent years under the Lukashenko dictatorship has deteriorated. The increasingly repressive regime, which is basically a dictatorship, is really a deplorable one, so I welcome the extension of the EU targeted travel sanctions against representatives of the regime who are responsible for the violent repression of its citizens. Repression has also been intensified recently against civil society activists, democratic opposition and the freedom of the media.
Of course, we must all give out a strong signal that such repression today is not going to be tolerated in Europe by the European Union. I believe that targeted sanctions, as proposed, will serve to give a very strong signal to that effect to the last dictatorship in Europe. Belarusians, in my view, deserve much better."@en1
