". – Madam President, at regular intervals we discuss here the outcome of the elections in Belarus, and at regular intervals we have to express our disappointment at the conduct of the elections because they are never free and fair. The Belarusian regime has again missed yet another opportunity to express its commitment to European values and, of course, also to end its self-imposed isolation.
What can we do? I think the critical engagement policy presented by the Commissioner is the right one. On the one hand we need targeted sanctions, but on the other hand we should try to use all the means at our disposal to help Belarusian society – young people, NGOs – to help open up the country. Of course we also demand the immediate release of all political prisoners, especially – as a social democrat, I have to say – that of the leader of the independent social democratic movement in Belarus, Mikola Statkevich."@en1
