SOUNDBITE (Italian), David SASSOLI, EP President, <p><b></b>First of all, I am here to say that the border between Lithuania and Belarus is a European border. What is happening demonstrates the aggression of Lukashenko's regime, an instrumental use of women and men, of poor people. Yesterday we saw scandalous images of policemen pushing these people to the border. Of course, we need humanity, but also to protect the European area.</p>
