Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg on Friday supported calls from other European Union member states to consider sanctions against Belarus in response to a violent crackdown on post-election protests.

The sanctions would have to be targeted against those responsible for the violence against protesters, arbitrary detentions and internet blockades, Schallenberg told ORF radio.

Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, claimed victory in Sunday’s presidential election with around 80% of the vote, triggering clashes between security forces and opposition supporters in which at least two protesters have died and thousands have been detained.Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said the election should be rerun.

martinoweiss *against Lukashenko That's some really bad wording...

Austria's foreign minister is no one, he can mind on his business

Oooooooh, this will surely help the Belarus people. Yep. Like sanctions against Russia. They suuuuuure did.

Very well. Lukashenko’s crazy regime is illegitimate. ❌

Austria is always quick in asking punishment! We remember your provocations and ultimatum to Serbia before your attack on Serbia in the first World War. This was the beginning of the end of the Habsburg Monarchy. Where are your contributions to peace and mutual understanding?

The world is crazy, you sanction me, I sanction you! How about start Worldwide War III?Let's all in!

Не против Белоруссии, а против номенклатуры!

What about Turkey? Any better than Belarus? Or too complex?

The question is how do we punish the Belarusian leadership without making the situation worse for the people

Belarus says police fired live rounds at protesters as EU weighs sanctionsBelarus said on Wednesday that police had fired live rounds at protesters in the city of Brest and arrested more than 1,000 people nationwide, intensifying a crackdown that has prompted the European Union to weigh new sanctions on Minsk. This reminds of Ceausescu's fall from power. Once live rounds are used, those who do the firing have to deal with their conscience. Of course, there are diehard supporters of the regime, but many police officers will eventually recoil at shooting civilians. BloodSpite Not into masked protesters anymore. Are they even Belarussians? Who knows? Interesting juxtaposition between tweet and photo.
