"Mr President, I believe this resolution is just as important to highlight the need to promote democracy and free elections, which the European Union does constantly. Russia, as a privileged partner of the European Union, must meet certain standards in order to support the confidence in this partnership and make it viable. Unfortunately, what is happening in Moscow and elsewhere – numerous ordinary citizens, as well as organisations that are involved in the protection and defence of human rights are demonstrating in the streets – proves that we are dealing with a totalitarian temptation which is perverted and is unable to serve its citizens, only the interests of some political structures. The fact that some candidates were not allowed to campaign, the way in which the Electoral Commission works, and the fact that the campaign was not conducted fairly serve as proof that Russia is far from complying with these standards."@en1
