Once again, the majority of the European Union is seeking new arguments to continue its attack on the sovereignty of Belarus and the choices of its people. This text reiterates all of the usual arguments for EU interference, competing 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 obvious differences with the Minsk Government, we do not support the majority of the European Parliament, which not only does not recognise the sovereignty of the Belarusian people to choose the political powers that govern the country and to make their own economic, social and cultural choices, but also supports direct interference in its internal affairs, violating 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’. We believe that protecting the independence and sovereignty of peoples is a fundamental principle; it is up to each people to define the political, economic and social system that best serves its interests and aspirations."@en1
