"Mr President, today we are condemning Russia, but perhaps it would be good if this appeal were to be heard by the governments of the European Union’s Member States. Representatives of many of the political parties that sit in this Parliament are actually jointly responsible for a peculiar hypocrisy. The governments of these countries have essentially placed human rights on the altar of trade relations with Moscow. It seems to me that it would be good if by speaking out loudly today – and rightly so – in defence of human rights in Russia, in defence of free elections and in defence of free media, the representatives of many groups in this Parliament were to beat their breasts over their own government, for example, the German Government, as well as others. In my opinion, democracy without this would mean nothing."@en1
