This resolution insists on a position of interference by the European Union, which aims to compete with Russia, the United States and NATO for influence over Belarus, a country that, despite all pressure, has maintained an independent and sovereign path. In spite of our differences with the authorities in Minsk, we cannot support the majority of Parliament. We recognise the sovereignty of the Belarusian people to choose the political powers that govern its country and to make their own economic, social and cultural choices. We do not support direct interference in the country’s internal affairs, which violates one of the basic principles of international law, that is, interference in the form of political and financial support for the opposition and for ‘independent’ media, for Belarusian civil society and for non-governmental organisations, or greater ‘cooperation’ with ‘its Eastern neighbours’. In the name of the fundamental principle of protecting the independence and sovereignty of peoples, and because it is up to each people to define the political, economic and social system that best serves its interests and aspirations, we do not support this resolution."@en1
