Trump’s Second Term a Crossroads for Central Europe – COMMENTARY
6 November 2024
The state of war between Alyaksandr Lukashenka and the Belarusian people is cemented. At the moment, open protest cannot defeat the regime, but a parallel democratic state is developing. Meanwhile, there is still a tendency in the West to look to Moscow first when it comes to Eastern Europe, despite the EU giving legitimacy to the Belarusian democratic movement.
One year ago, Visegrad Insight published in partnership with the German Marshall Fund of the United States a special scenario-based report on the Eastern Partnership region. Since then, events in Belarus have rapidly unravelled along the lines of a scenario called Civic Emancipation.
As co-author of the report, Jörg Forbrig sheds light on the ongoing contestation between the democratic opposition and the regime in Belarus, suggesting what may happen next and how the European Union and the United States can support the Belarusian democracy movement.
Jörg Forbrig is a Senior Fellow and Director for Central and Eastern Europe at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, based in Berlin. He closely follows the Eastern neighbourhood of the EU and writes about democratisation and civil society.
