The French President called on the EU to throw its weight behind Belarusians demanding that their liberties be respected – but the online community was quick to remind him of fellow Frenchmen rallying for the same cause at home.
Emmanuel Macron tweeted his support for the growing anti-government sentiment in Belarus, writing on Sunday that Brussels must continue “to mobilize alongside the hundreds of thousands of Belarusians who demonstrate peacefully for the respect of their rights, their freedom and their sovereignty.”

The demonstrations that caught Macron’s eye have been building since the controversial presidential vote in Belarus, that saw the sitting President Alexander Lukashenko being re-elected for a sixth term. The outcome was rejected by the opposition, who insisted that the vote was rigged.
Notably, the French President’s appeal didn’t receive an overly positive response in the Francophone realm of Twitter. He took quite a bit of heat online for prioritizing grievances of Belarusians over those of the French.
“Haven't you noticed that in France people also march for the respect of their rights?” one asked.
Another used the President’s language, reminding that “the Yellow Vests demonstrated, and still demonstrate peacefully today for the same demands, before you had them knocked down and clubbed.”
Initially motivated by rising fuel prices and unaffordable cost of living, the Yellow Vests evolved into a nationwide grassroots movement for economic and social justice. As it grew, political demands were added, with ‘Macron demission!’ (Macron resign!) becoming one of the slogans frequently heard at the Yellow Vests demonstrations.

Netizens wondered if Brussels will respond to the French rallies in the same manner Macron is calling for now.
“Has the European Union mobilized alongside the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Vests in France who peacefully demonstrated for the respect of their rights, their freedom and their sovereignty?” some asked.
People also pounded Macron’s page with examples of popular unrest in Europe and elsewhere which have attracted little or no attention from the EU. One Twitter user asked the president to express the same support for the people of Cote d’Ivoire, while another reminded him that in Catalonia, the EU “didn’t care about paramilitary violence against the civilian population.”
Macron’s tweet appears to be completely in line with the positions of the EU’s leadership. This Friday, the bloc dismissed Lukashenko’s victory and promised sanctions against Belarusian officials. Lukashenko himself brushed aside all calls to review the results of the election, repeatedly arguing that the wave of protests was orchestrated from abroad.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called Emmanuel Macron a “hypocrite” after he used a Sunday tweet to publicly call for the European Union to “continue to mobilize” on the side of anti-government protesters in Belarus.
The ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, wrote on Facebook on Monday that the French president should call for support for those taking part in protests in the EU, not Belarus, which lies outside of Brussels’ orbit. The landlocked country is a full member of two alliances which serve as alternatives to the EU and NATO in Europe – the Eurasian Economic Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
“When will he call on the European Union to be mobilized in support of hundreds of thousands of ‘Yellow Vests’ demonstrators who peacefully seek to ensure respect for their rights, freedoms and sovereignty?” she said. “When will the European Union stop waiting for calls from presidents of its member states and start to mobilize proactively in support of protests held on its own territory?”

“This is what hypocrisy is,” she added. A source in Moscow told RT that the comment also amounted to an open admission that Brussels is already interfering in the crisis, which the Russian government views as concerning. Russia, they said, part of a closely integrated ‘union-state’ with Belarus, has been far more measured with its own official statements.

Macron’s tweet said that “the European Union must continue to mobilize alongside the hundreds of thousands of Belarusians who are demonstrating peacefully for the respect of their rights, their freedom and their sovereignty.” It follows open interference in the crisis from senior politicians in Lithuania, Poland, and the US.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to his embattled Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko, twice over the weekend. Notably, the Kremlin’s summaries of both calls referred to concerns about outside meddling in the process, with Sunday’s summary prominently citing “external pressure.”
Belarus’ presidential election took place on Sunday, August 9. According to the official preliminary results, incumbent President Lukashenko received 80.1 percent of the vote, while his main rival, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, garnered 10.12 percent. Many in the country immediately refused to accept the outcome, alleging widespread electoral fraud.
Subsequently, protests erupted in the capital, Minsk and several other cities, leading to clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Tikhanovskaya herself fled to Lithuania and Veronika Tsepkalo, another key opposition figure, went to Russia. The EU’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrell, said on August 14 that the bloc did not accept the results of the election. “Work begins on sanctioning those responsible for violence and falsification,” he added.
