"I voted in favour of this. The European Parliament is drawing attention to the worsening situation in Belarus. The dictator is angry because sanctions have nevertheless hit the regime where it hurts and all his ensuing actions say demonstratively ‘Europe will not dictate to me’. The EU does not dictate to anyone and does not buy countries’ loyalty. In other parts of the world, there may be some that do that. Lukashenko does not behave like a head of state, but like a boss who regards Belarus as his own yard where he does what he wants. Belarusians are not sows and boars on a collective farm but proud people who want to live with dignity in an independent, prosperous European country. I want to stress that faced with such a situation, we need to continue EU support for the Belarusian forge of free thought in exile – the European Humanities University in Vilnius. We should also consider all possible opportunities to enable the cost of Schengen visas to be unilaterally reduced to a minimum for Belarusian citizens, regardless of the dictator’s mood swings."@en1
