  • Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “The EU will allocate the same amount to our country under the EU Plan for Democratic Belarus”

    February 16, 2022

    Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “Today, the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development refused to provide 3.5 billion dollars to the regime. Let me remind you that the EU is to allocate the same amount to our country under the EU Plan for Democratic Belarus. And instead of financing the repressive apparatus or premiums for the former president’s cronies, these funds will be used for stabilizing the economy and strengthening infrastructure. After all, what Belarusians need is not prisons and fines, but normal prices in stores, affordable medicines, and uninterrupted operation of public transport.

    Now, our economy needs rescuing, but it will also need development and reforms after the democratic transition. And for that, we need support from other countries. Hence, we are already working with international partners to expand support for free Belarus. And, as we can see, this support is steadily increasing, while for the regime, doors close one after another. Therefore, now everyone who is still holding on to the person who lost the election should think: if you chose stability, does he have a plan that will allow you all to achieve it?”.
