Took just 10 percent. The streets of minsk beller looses capital filled with protesters. Thanks chance of change and long with belarus resoundingly through the city. Riot police pushed back against the demonstrators the flowing water cannon and firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Incumbent president who gushing call had a warrant would crack down on any unauthorized rallies. 7 was. Followed the law and any talk of repression will disappear the law is above all else if you break it we will respond and weve been like handed in our response so far to be honest with you ive always held back our Law Enforcement joy i told them theres no need for a heavy response you know. The protest kicked off after a state exit poll said who was far ahead many of those in the streets believe the government rigged the results their concerns were echoed by opposition candidates. Who rejected the early vote count. She said quote i believe my own eyes the majority is with us we will be long lines formed outside polling stations on sunday with many voters sporting the white armbands that are a symbol for the kind of say yes supporters this election poses the 1st serious challenge to look ashamed goes 26 year rule with support for taken off growing over the last few weeks she emerged as a leading opposition figure after her husband was barred from running prompting her to stand as a candidate she is now refusing to accept the feat despite official numbers showing look a shank a with a huge lead and is the terminations to keep a firm grip on power. For more lets bring in money zaw a scene from hamburg hes a member of the German Parliaments Foreign Affairs committee and the green partys parliamentary Spokes Person for Eastern European policy thanks for being with us mr is of a scene let me start by asking you about the Electoral Commission in bella ruse saying that that i want to around 80 percent of the vote do you think thats a credible result. You know its quite obvious that since 25 years we havent seen free and Fair Elections and but i was at all i think not any election before has been as much fake this one i think that thats really a fake election that its not an election. Now people took to the streets all over bellerose to protest the election result human rights organizations are saying one person has been killed what do you make of the way the police have responded to the demonstrators i have expected actually at that question coville use false and violence to clean up the streets to not have a situation like in ukraine on i mean and its clearly that this legitimacy has been broken to a certain extent in the 4 years few of us have to transition that this much more of a sentiment against them and a much higher position than official calling the showing up that you might have a major retreat in the country at at all in any way and this seems to be different this time and i think that the best that the union and also berlin has been grown too soft an approach from one to shrink believing this is the works of us i wanted to ask you about that because i was looking at your twitter feed and reacting to the shakers announced victory you tweeted that the elections in belarus should be a lesson to berlin and brussels what should germany and the e. U. Learn from this. We should learn clearly that the idea that look at whats safe at bellas independence from Russia Union State of russia and below it was just in debate since many 5 years is a fake argument by look i shant go and the kremlin who hold us at the cemetery and they should see clearly that our only part that can be the democratic opposition and the Democratic Movement in the country and this bill of us really really wants to change across who are more open knows whats best that must be on a value based approach how would you suggest that germany and the rest of the European Union should go about bringing in the other routes into a closer relationship with the European Union that they based on relations with theres opposition parties and i think the 1st point is even that seems to be naive we need to put in the full the shame of sanctions again after we saw that the question of us not holding the promises regarding the elections European Union has to yes and over it and they also have to be clear that this this process of the far off openness of europe you can have been up if possible it is only a corrupt puppet of the kremlin playing the game as National Leader of a country that is trying to sustain its about hannity while in the pic and. Paying and selling out the country whats a question this must clear a possible whats the best of the levels will be not possible with such a president and the space and at the muck with the opposition this is how it seems thank you very much for talking with us that was meant to solve it Senior Member of the German Parliament thank you.
