"For a while in Russia, we saw clear steps towards democracy in the shape of a change of the rules on the registration of political parties. Unfortunately, these positive decisions were quickly blocked and overshadowed by the brutal suppression of protests and harassment of the opposition. It should be noted that this is an opposition that remains outside the parliament. We have no tools to directly support it, but we can invite its representatives to Parliament and promote its activities in Russia. Especially now, during the pre-election period, we have a great opportunity for international criticism of the actions of Russian authorities and support for the opposition to bring two-fold results. Not only does it force the authorities to explain themselves, but it also legitimises and grants international recognition to the pro-democratic opposition movements. I therefore support the European Parliament’s resolution on human rights violations in Russia, and I expect broader monitoring of the internal situation in this country by EU bodies."@en1
