"Madam President, the flu alert issued by Russia’s Chief Sanitary Inspector, Gennady Onishchenko, on Saturday, 10 December made no difference. In spite of it, tens of thousands of people across the country took to the streets in protest against blatant electoral fraud during the 4 December elections. In the face of Mr Onishchenko’s thinly-veiled political manoeuvre, the protesters demanded that medication be administered to a corrupt social and political establishment, and rightly so.
I sincerely hope, Baroness Ashton, that in its upcoming discussions with the Russian authorities, and especially in the lead-up to the presidential elections of March 2012, the EU will show support for the Russians who have voiced such necessary criticism. Baroness Ashton, in addition to this domestic matter, I would also like you, in your talks with the leadership in Moscow, to bring up another very urgent issue: one which relates to Russia’s foreign policy.
When it comes to the nuclear dispute with Iran, how do you rate the chances of Russia adopting a more positive, that is, a more cooperative, attitude towards Western efforts to settle this inflammable conflict peacefully? I would expect Iran’s nuclear dossier to be high on your priority list for the negotiations with the currently so beleaguered Putin/Medvedev leadership duo."@en1
