Svetlana Tikhanovskaya Invited to European Parliament

“Today I spoke with Svetlana Tikhanovskaya about the alarming situation in Belarus. She accepted our invitation to come to the European Parliament,” said David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament.

It is worth recalling that earlier Tikhanovskaya had already addressed a special session of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee via video link. As is known, Tikhanovskaya lost to the current leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, in the presidential elections, but the opposition considers her the winner. After the elections, she left for Lithuania for security reasons.
