Lukashenka's self-appointment as head of his fake people's assembly makes his regime resemble Stalin's dictatorship. Adding another title is a desperate attempt to regain the legitimacy he first lost in 2020 & again in 2022, when he backed Russia's criminal aggression against ๐บ๐ฆ.
A good day for the world indeed! Strong global leadership from ๐บ๐ธ as the vital aid package for ๐บ๐ฆ was approved in the Senate & signed by President Biden. This sends an important message to the democratic world that the ๐บ๐ธ stands with ๐บ๐ฆ, delivering a strong blow to Putin & Lukashenka.
The ๐บ๐ธ 2023 Human Rights Report on #Belarus reads like a catalog of horrors; torture, life-threatening prison conditions, punishment of family members, violence against journalists, forced laborโthe list goes on. The regime must be held accountable.

Just like the fake elections orchestrated by the criminal regime in #Belarus , the assembly convened today has nothing to do with democracy. Itโs merely a facade set up to legitimize Lukashenka's tyranny. None of the participants represent our people. Donโt be fooled by this sham!
Europeโs fate is now being decided in #Ukraine & #Belarus but also in #Moldova , #Georgia & #Armenia . We must stand together for our freedom & for the freedom of Europe. Glad to discuss the current situation with Parliament Speakers of ๐ฆ๐ฒ Alen Simonyan & ๐ฒ๐ฉIgor Grosu at #EUSC .
Grateful for a productive meeting with Marshal of the Sejm Szymon Hoลownia. We focused on supporting civil society, free media & providing direct aid to Belarusians both inside the country & in ๐ต๐ฑ. I am thankful to ๐ต๐ฑ for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us through everything.
Pleased to meet ๐ฎ๐น Chamber of Deputies President Lorenzo Fontana for the 1st time on the margins of #EUSC . I thanked him for ๐ฎ๐น's firm support. We discussed hosting the next Alliance meeting of 'Groups for Democratic Belarus' in #Rome , as ๐ฎ๐น's group is the largest at 63 members.
Inspired by strong female leaders like Urลกka Klakoฤar Zupanฤiฤ, President of the ๐ธ๐ฎ National Assembly. We discussed creating a parliamentary 'Group of Friends of Democratic Belarus' & ๐ธ๐ฎ's support at the #UNSC . Our talk also focused on how to elevate womenโs roles in politics.
Muchรญsimas gracias, Congreso President Francina Armengol, for inviting me to address speakers of 37 parliaments at #EUSC . Spain shows true leadership in supporting democratic #Belarus . In our meeting, we discussed creating a Friends of Democratic Belarus group in the ๐ช๐ธ Parliament.
