lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Parliament has rightly expressed a lot of criticism about the way in which the Duma Elections were held. What really struck me is that one still knows nothing of what really went on in these presidential elections. Yes, on election day itself, everything may have proceeded in a relatively normal fashion, but the way in which the votes were counted the next day and, also, the candidates nominated, as well as the role of the media in the run-up to the elections, was simply unacceptable. I believe that Russia, a country that is also a member of the Council of Europe, ought not to permit itself to act in that kind of a fashion because it, too, has to keep to the rules. Mr President, there are also some hopeful signs. I have never seen such peaceful opposition, such a peaceful gathering of ordinary civilians, turning out on the streets, protesting and showing that they can no longer take what happens in the Kremlin seriously. What we have to do today is ensure that we bring those people, those peaceful marchers, together with those in the Kremlin or in the Duma who are also willing to carry out reforms; we need to bring them together. That is the text of our resolution. And that is why we all ought to accept Mr Swoboda’s proposals. As far as the other aspects of this matter are concerned, in a few months, Mr Swoboda will come up with a new text that we will then be able to refine further."@en1
