🗣️The precondition for people to be confident for the future and have children is a prosperous economy and inclusive social policies.

We need effective 🇪🇺 policies to support families and increase labour market participation, through better work-life balance mainly for ♀️women.

🗣️ One can argue we need to increase awareness, cooperation, investments.

Others say it is about supply chains, regulatory barriers, limited market demand.

There is a truth in every argument.

Still, for me ♻️the #CircularEconomy begins and ends with people.

All authoritarian politicians are afraid of people's power to make things happen.

The 🇪🇺EU needs to continue supporting Belarusian #civilsociety in its fight for freedom and democracy.

Investing in #Belarus means investing in Europe.

🗣️@Tsihanouskaya at the #EESCplenary:

"The future of Europe is being decided right now on the battlefields of Ukraine, in the Belarusian underground resistance, and in 🇪🇺 capitals.

Are we as Europeans able to defend democratic values or will we let tyrannies take over again?"
