The joint motion for a resolution in question, tabled pursuant to Rule 110(2) and (4) of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, replacing the motions by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group and the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, focuses on the situation in Belarus following the legislative elections that took place on 23 September. After the elections were held, many criticised them as fraudulent, among them the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, and the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Thorbjørn Jagland. In fact, several instances of violations were confirmed by independent international observers and there was a lack of transparency in the counting of the votes, which makes it possible to assert that the election results do not reflect the will of the Belarusian people. I voted in favour of this joint motion for a resolution because I believe that the international community must draw Belarus’s attention to its obligation to respect democratic values, such as the primacy of the rule of law and human rights, and to abolish the death penalty immediately."@en1
