European officials make statements about Belarus to cover their own blunders, ill-judged decisions

 


 

The press service of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement in response to the reaction of the European External Action Service (EEAS) on the occasion of another anniversary of the presidential election in Belarus.

 

The Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated: “Once again we are convinced of the senselessness of seriously considering the typical statements made by the European External Action Service and some EU member states in connection with another anniversary of the presidential election in the Republic of Belarus. However, this time the European officials overdid themselves a bit and succeeded at falsifying the facts concerning the statements of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding Belarus. For decades we have been hearing high-flown phrases about the mythical support of the European Union to the Belarusian people, including the financial one. Belarusians are wise people and see perfectly well where such alleged support has led other countries to.”

 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that as it follows an independent course, Belarus develops successfully. Despite the unprecedented pressure of sanctions the GDP grows steadily, large-scale industrial modernization projects are ongoing, decent social protection of the population is provided, and the prosperity of citizens is growing. In January-May 2024 alone real monetary incomes of the population increased by 9.6%.

 

“However, the situation in the EU countries causes growing dissatisfaction of ordinary citizens, which is often accompanied by acts of civil disobedience. It seems that European officials would like to cover up their own failures and ill-considered decisions in the economy, energy sector, and migration policy with their statements about the Republic of Belarus. However, the most difficult thing for the European Union is to hide the obvious: a crisis of ideas concerning the union’s own development and a strategy for building relations with its neighbors, including Belarus,” the press service said.
 
 
"Instead of jointly confronting modern challenges and threats, solving common practical issues for the benefit of the whole region, unprecedented sanctions are imposed on Belarus, new and new barriers are invented for Belarusian citizens when crossing the EU border, which prevent, first of all, contacts between people and humanitarian cooperation.
 
 
"We did not start this confrontation. But we are the ones who suggest that the European Union should return to objective realities, pragmatism and dialog. We understand that, deep down, European politicians probably realize the futility of their course. Unfortunately, they are not free enough in their own decisions and actions and are forced to look abroad all the time.
 
 
But if Brussels really thought about its citizens, it would have found ways to build constructive interaction with Minsk as well as to study the real situation in our country instead of spreading all sorts of scare stories and fakes. After all there are no problems. Thousands of EU citizens have already taken advantage of the Belarusian side's offer of visa-free entry to the Republic of Belarus. Why don't the European politicians follow the example of their citizens? Come to Belarus, see the situation with your own eyes. You will not regret it."

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
