lpv:translated text	". The official turnout at the most recent parliamentary elections in Belarus at the end of September was 74 %. Laughable was the damning verdict of Belarusian political analyst and author Valery Karbalevich. At numerous half-empty polling stations throughout the day of the elections on 23 September, independent observers and voters witnessed a crushing blow being dealt to Lukashenko’s regime. The repressive government in Minsk reaped what it had sown. If you systematically rig elections, you need not be surprised if civil society reacts accordingly. Mr Karbalevich rightly concludes that distrust of the Lukashenko regime has come out into the open with these elections. That should give the reform-minded elite in the country, in particular, a great deal to think about. The Council and the Commission would therefore do well to invest time and energy in patiently establishing relationships with them at this moment in time. We must combine principles with change. As they say in German . That would greatly benefit both Belarus and the EU and I have every confidence that Commissioner Füle is thinking about this and working on it."@en1
