"Madam President, I was prompted to speak today by what Mr Šťastný said. In former times I admired him as a hockey player and I would not want his proposal, which in fact has great political weight, to just be passed over.
Dictators are sensitive when someone takes their favourite toy away. Their favourite toy is public display, showing off.
I think it would be very appropriate if we were to support the cancellation of the hockey championship in Belarus. In this way Lukashenko would lose a big show and it would be clear to people why he lost it. Those to whom it was not clear would find out. It is difficult for us to get close to the public in this country. With this type of gesture we would get close to the public.
I would also like to thank Commissioner Füle for his sensitivity when delicate political problems are considered in these countries with which we must have contact, above all contact with the people and the public in these countries."@en1
