This own-initiative report must not be viewed in isolation, but rather as an integrated element of the EU’s common foreign and security policy. As a result, we would say that it is imbued with an attitude of arrogance and self-praise, one example of which is the self-assessment of the EU as ‘leading’ in the area of international election observation.
It is based on this attitude of the ‘superiority’ of the ‘values’ and conduct of the EU that frequent attempts are made to use election observation missions as an instrument of pressure and interference in the internal affairs of countries, mainly those which insist on development projects based on an affirmation of national sovereignty and independence.
Viewed in another way, what is the EU actually attempting to do with the ‘common, comprehensive strategy for promoting democracy’? What is the EU attempting to do with the financing of national parliaments and political parties in other countries? The answer is given by our own situation. The EU is attempting to impose a single model (of capitalism) on people. This model serves the interests of intensified exploitation and imposes the liberalisation of international trade. It accepts the sacrifice of progress for people and development for countries to the interests of multinationals."@en1
