French President Emmanuel Macron was quoted this week saying that Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko "must go." This vote of no confidence comes after last month's controversial election in Belarus. Lukashenko claims he won the election overwhelmingly, however, many of the country's opposition says the election was rigged. The possible rigged election has led to protests throughout Belarus. The Belarus government, under Lukashenko, has cracked down violently on these protests leaving the nation in a state of civil unrest. Now the Europen Union is no longer recognizing Lukashenko as president and calling for his removal. However, the Belarus foreign minister spoke to the United Nations this week warning the rest of the world to stay out of Belarus' internal business. Lukashenko has been in power for 26 years.
