EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Friday warned Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko “it is time to change course” as her executive held out the promise of a three-billion-euro support package if he leaves power.
The European Commission president said the EU’s message was twofold: one of support to the Belarusian people — and a warning to Lukashenko.
“No amount of repression, brutality or coercion will bring any legitimacy to your authoritarian regime. So far, you have blatantly ignored the democratic choice of the Belarusian people. It is time to change course,” she said.
“When — and we believe it is a case of when, not if — Belarus starts its peaceful democratic transition, the EU will be there to accompany it.”
A commission spokeswoman said von der Leyen had written to Belarus’s opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and other opposition figures “expressing her respect and admiration for the courage and strength of the people of Belarus.”
“The president conveyed the EU stands ready to engage in all possible ways to accompany a peaceful democratic transition in Belarus, and outlined in her letter the EU’s comprehensive plan of economic support to a democratic Belarus of up to three billion euros ($3.7 billion),” spokeswoman Ana Pisonero said.
The announced investment package is a mix of grants and loans aimed at helping “a future, democratic Belarus to stabilize its economy, reform its institutions to make them more democratic and support economic reforms that increase the country’s resilience, growth potential and job creation.”
“The EU will activate this plan once Belarus embarks on a democratic transition,” Pisonero said.
Expanding sanctions
The proposed support from the EU comes as the bloc aims to ramp up pressure on Lukashenko after the forced landing of an Athens-to-Vilnius Ryanair flight in Minsk on Sunday and arrest of a dissident journalist onboard.
EU leaders have already agreed to ban Belarusian airlines from flying to the bloc and recommended EU-based carriers avoid Belarusian airspace.
Diplomats from the 27 nations are now working on expanding sanctions on Belarus and are eyeing hitting key sectors of the economy to try to undercut Lukashenko’s financial backing.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote on Twitter that the three-billion-euro support plan “should be a genuine incentive for the regime to change its course.”
Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, claimed a sixth presidential term in last August’s vote that the opposition and Western diplomats said was rigged.
Lukashenko’s security forces unleashed a brutal crackdown after widespread protests swept the country, jailing thousands and forcing key opponents into exile.
The EU has already slapped asset freezes and visa bans on Lukashenko and 87 other regime figures, but the strongman has shrugged off Western pressure with support from key ally Russia.
Lukashenko was to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi on Friday.
This is code for we want NATO in Belarus because the nut jobs running Poland demand a buffer state. The thing is, can Russia allow Belarus to fall? I don’t think so.
The next point. $3.7 billion is small change compared to the City and Wall St. getting their mitts on the Belarusian economy which equates to Belarus carrying an extraordinary amount of debt.
Did EU sheeple vote for this $3.7 give away?
Covid was timed partly to stop us destroying the EU, but that is still a correct part of the justice agenda.
Then in keeping with her theme of Orwellian opposite speak, the demon had the gall to suggest the elections in Belarus are rigged, when it’s so clear to see the elections in western nations are an exercise in predetermined futility. Then the satanic xxxx-golem tries to bribe Belarus with an “economic package”, which consists of loans at crippling interest, of course.
“EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Friday warned Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko “it is time to change course” as her executive held out the promise of a three-billion-euro support package if he leaves power.”
It makes you sick to the stomach doesn’t it?
Just who the f*ck does this woman think she is? She has no power, no authority and no strength to enforce her demands. All she has are those fools, in the military, too stupid to add two and two together to come up with reality. Give her a gun and send her off to Belarus to enforce her mandates and see how far she gets?
But interesting, the bribe has been given. Which Belarus wannabe will sell out his people and side with the Rothschild owned west, bringing about conflict with Russia, in the soon to be WW3? Guaranteed there’s certainly quite a few Mammonites within Belarus.
And the bible is correct, again:
Matthew 6:24 (YLT) “None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
Timothy 6:10 (YLT)”for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;”
And it so just happens that those who love money and despise God, just happen to be the very people in positions of power and authority within politics (and other institutions).
The best solution, of course, is a removal of the money system altogether. If you want something, you earn it or barter it. You want a pair of trousers? You give the tailor some chickens, or a leg of beef, or better still – LEARN HOW TO SEW! Become fully self sustainable and want nothing for another.
And once you remove the money system, the parasites who are in charge will die off, unable of being self sufficient in any way.
When you think, of just how much wrong has been done, to so many people through the worship of Mammon, it beggars belief. Materialism or God? I’ve never had a second thought on that, ever. Poverty and goodness or Wealth and badness? Again, never a second thought.
Is von der Leyen a Satanic Ashkenazi Bolshevik Khazar??
This woman lives above reality and morality
The EU is run by an unelected unaccountable & basically unremoveable set of Commissars , Miss Von Der Leyen being the Head Commissar; the degree of hypocrisy in lecturing Belarus is staggering but, unfortunately, par for the course.
This surely amounts to interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign country & is in breach of the UN charter.
all this f…n german whores know that they have rothschilds
illumunates + freemsonmafia behind their back and from
them pushed to power . but they have no power only a loose
mouth .
