Russia’s disinformation and historical falsification to justify its war of aggression against Ukraine LV

Written explanations of vote

Es atbalstīju šo rezolūciju, jo tā stingri vēršas pret Krievijas agresiju un tās īstenoto dezinformāciju, kas apdraud ne tikai Ukrainas, bet arī Eiropas demokrātiju un mūsu vēstures saglabāšanu. Rezolūcija skaidri nosoda Krievijas melus, ar kuriem tā cenšas attaisnot savu iebrukumu Ukrainā, kā arī mēģinājumus falsificēt vēsturi, lai mazinātu atbalstu Ukrainai un attaisnotu savas imperiālistiskās ambīcijas.
Krievijas centieni izmantot vēstures pārskatīšanu un ar to saistītā propaganda nav tikai pagātnes jautājums — tā ir aktīva kampaņa, kas tieši ietekmē arī mūsu sabiedrības, cenšoties vājināt Eiropas vienotību un demokrātisko procesu integritāti. Šī rezolūcija arī aicina uz atbildību par Krievijas kara noziegumiem, īpaša tribunāla izveidi un aktīvāku rīcību cīņā pret dezinformāciju. Eiropai vēl ir ļoti daudz darāmā. Esmu pārliecināta, ka mēs nedrīkstam pieļaut vēstures falsifikāciju un kara noziegumu ignorēšanu, jo tikai patiesība un solidaritāte ar Ukrainu var nodrošināt nākotni Eiropai.

Need for actions to address the continued oppression and fake elections in Belarus

22-01-2025
Written explanations of vote

I supported this European Parliament resolution as it calls on the EU to reject the presidential election in Belarus as a sham. It urges the EU, its member states, and the international community not to recognize the legitimacy of incumbent dictator Lukashenka as president. The resolution reaffirms unwavering support for the Belarusian people in their pursuit of democracy, freedom, and human rights. The EP expresses concern over the situation of 1,200 political prisoners in Belarus and advocate for accountability measures, including the application of the “universal jurisdiction” legal principle. Furthermore, the resolution underscores the importance of strengthening and broadening EU sanctions against individuals and entities responsible for repression in Belarus and its involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine. It also urges the EU to find legal pathways to seize assets of the Belarusian leadership and related Belarusian entities involved in the Russian war effort.
