The European Parliament does not recognize the results of the Belarusian election. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: This is an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of a sovereign state
[Global Times reporter Liu Zhi] According to the Russian "Viewpoint" report on the 17th, the plenary meeting of the European Parliament passed a resolution on the same day, stating that the European Parliament and the European Commission have unanimous positions and support sanctions against Belarusian President Lukashenko. Recognize him as the legitimate president of the country.
In response, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the 17th that the Russian delegation wrote to the Chairman of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly to protest this resolution.
According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Parliament’s statement was adopted under pressure from Chilevich, Chairman of the Judicial and Human Rights Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Latvian Council of Europe. It violated the program of the Parliamentary Assembly and the democratic principles of deliberations. “He ignored it like a demonstration. The Russian delegation’s opinion refuses to vote on the draft resolution, and pretends that all parties have reached an agreement on the text of the resolution.” The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized: “It is impossible to agree with the preconceived comments in the resolution. We believe that this resolution is an attempt to interfere with sovereignty. The internal affairs of the country, especially this country is not a member of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly."
