  • Bulgarian Parliament formed group for a Democratic Belarus

    March 06, 2024

    As part of her official visit to Bulgaria, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with the Speaker of the Parliament, Rosen Zhelyazkov, addressed the Committee on European Affairs, and met with MPs.

    The speaker confirmed that a group for a Democratic Belarus is being formed in the Bulgarian Parliament. Mr. Zhelyazkov and Ms. Tsikhanouskaya discussed what the group should focus on.

    During the conversation, the Belarusian leader asked Bulgaria to simplify the legalization of stay for Belarusians. In addition, Ms. Tsikhanouskaya called on Rosen Zhelyazkov and other MPs to become symbolic godparents for political prisoners in Belarus, as well as organize a visit to Warsaw or Vilnius to meet with the families of political prisoners and those who have already been released from prisons.

    The speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament informed Ms. Tsikhanouskaya that the country has ceased cooperation with the Lukashenka regime and does not recognize the sham election that took place in Belarus in February. Mr. Zhelyazkov also expressed hope that European politicians will be more decisive in supporting Belarusians.
