The time of dictatorship will be over, democracy will prevail.
President of the European Parliament (EP) Roberta Metsola called the presidential "elections" in Belarus scheduled for January 26 a fiction.
"My message to the people of Belarus is: keep strong, we have your back, the time of dictatorship will be over," she wrote on Х.
Tomorrow’s election in Belarus is a sham.

My message to the people of Belarus is: keep strong, we have your back, the time of dictatorship will be over.
Democracy will prevail.
On January 22, the European Parliament adopted a resolution stating the non-recognition of the electoral procedure in Belarus and the legitimacy of Aliaksandr Lukashenka. The document was supported by 567 out of 658 MEPs who voted, 25 were against, 66 abstained.
Recall that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was also projected to receive 90% of the votes, but his regime fell within a few days.
