lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Søvndal, Commissioner, when I hear speeches like that last one, I simply have to acknowledge that values have clearly got very confused here. If someone believes that the United Kingdom does not have full democracy, but that Mr Putin is a model for democracy, then I simply have to say that the right has a way of looking at the world that I can no longer understand. I believe that the Duma elections were fraudulent and that we need to realise that in these Duma elections and in the presidential elections, candidates from the opposition who expressed criticism did not have any real opportunity to become candidates, because the way the elections were organised meant that they were not able to stand for election. At the same time, we are seeing a new middle class who are seeking to inform themselves and who want freedom, democracy and the rule of law in order, by such means, to develop a modern, economically sound, middle class-based state on the basis of the rule of law. I believe that we should support this. These people stand for the future of Russia in the interests of Russia. President Medvedev has now made an offer in a working group with the non-parliamentary opposition parties to make progress in terms of reforms. We intend to watch closely to see whether any steps forward are agreed on and implemented on the initiative of the next President. That is what this resolution is about. We want to see whether promises are kept here and whether words are transformed into action and the path to reform is taken. Allowing these reforms really would give President Putin the opportunity to achieve a fruitful Presidency. If this does not happen, Russia will develop into an authoritarian, dictatorial regime. For that reason, we would like to observe whether the opposition is treated fairly during the period leading up to the inauguration of President Putin."@en1
