The elections in Belarus under the Lukashenko regime have been, and continue to be, a complete farce. They do not come close to democratic standards. The old Soviet-style tactics of this dictatorship are best exemplified by the fact that a number of students and employees of state-owned companies were forced to take part in early voting which started five days before election day. It is evident that these individuals would be fired from their work or thrown out of their university if they refused to take part in this charade. It is unfortunate that Belarus cannot take part in the Euronest PA, but, bearing in mind the complete lack of transparency of these elections, we would have to have a total disregard for our values to allow the undemocratically-elected parliamentarians of Belarus to sit at the Euronest table."@en1
