EU cooperation is needed to stand up to the autocratic leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. That’s the advice from Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly.
His comments follow an address to the European Parliament last Wednesday by the Belarusian opposition leade,r Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. She told MEPs the regime was trying to weaponise migrants to deliberately undermine the stability and security of Europe.
And she called on the EU to take firm action against the regime in Belarus. Lukashenko is being accused of funnelling migrants primarily from the Middle East, to the country’s border with the EU, and in particular Poland.
Here’s Sean Kelly.
