In the run-up to the elections and the referendum, the European Parliament is passing a resolution which is a continuation of the pressure on and coercion of the Government of Belarus and which, unfortunately, is endorsed by all the political groups.
What touches the selective sensibilities of the ΕU, which interprets existent and non-existent infringements of human rights as it pleases, is that Belarus has not come running on bended knee to ΝΑΤΟ, the ΕU or the other imperialist organisations and refuses to sell off its wealth-producing resources to European and American monopolies.
Why has the European Parliament not turned its attention to rising fascism in the Baltic States, as Belarus did when it tabled a resolution on the subject before the UN? Why does it maintain absolute silence and not denounce the governments of Member States of the ΕU, the USA, Australia, Japan and so on who voted against it?
The people of Belarus alone have the authority to decide on their future. Resolutions such as this are underhand and are designed to mislead and confuse the workers and interfere in the internal affairs of Belarus in order to alter the political will of its people.
That is why we are voting against the resolution."@en1
