"Madam President, President Lukashenko has stated that other elections in Belarus were only as democratic as was possible. We have to take his word for it. Where it is possible that opposition leaders were behind bars and not in the voting booths, where many candidates were not even able to register freely and the freedom of expression was degraded to a minimum, it can also be said that the elections were as democratic as possible.
We must condemn the Belarusian regime for constantly depriving its own people of their fundamental rights and freedoms and even degrading their human rights. Such a regime cannot be a partner of the Union. It should rather be those parts of Belarusian society that are trying to stand up to the regime. Indeed, there are some such people in Belarus. The Union should therefore invest in, and support the future of, a Belarus that is more democratic than is currently possible."@en1
