"The majority of the EU shows creativity extending even to a sort of fantasy in the way it drafts its recurrent resolutions on Belarus. This time, not even the 2014 World Ice Hockey Championship has escaped its hypocritical wrath. This text is a repetition of the EU handbook on interference, with the aim of trying to extend the Union’s sphere of influence up to Russia’s borders. Despite our differences with the Minsk authorities, we do not share the point of view of the majority in Parliament, which not only does not recognise the sovereignty of the Belarusian people in defining their political power and their social, economic and cultural situation, but also supports direct interference in its internal affairs, violating a basic principle of international law. This interference occurs both through political and financial support for the opposition, independent media, Belarusian civil society and non-governmental organisations, and through greater cooperation with its eastern neighbours. For our part, we hold the defence of peoples’ independence and sovereignty as a fundamental principle, and it is up to each people to define the political, economic and social system which best serves its interests and aspirations on both an individual and a collective level."@en1
