"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this Parliament and, above all, the majority of the speakers in this House, are acting as if the Russian citizens were children. That is not the case. Russians know very well who they want to elect and who they do not want to elect, and they wanted stability. That is what I have been told in numerous conversations that I have had with Russian citizens on the streets, unobserved and unimpeded. They want stability, and they never again want a return to the thieving times experienced under the government of Mr Yeltsin.
I was an election observer myself and I only met a single Member of this House, that being Ms Gardini from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). I visited polling stations in the provinces 1 200 kilometres from Moscow. There were election observers for the candidates in all polling stations, particularly for Gennady Zyuganov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Mikhail Prokhorov. Committees were present and there were transparent, sealed ballot boxes. There were webcams in 15% of the polling stations, so that people could watch the elections themselves at home via the Internet. Everything that has been claimed here regarding the presidential elections in Russia is, from my subjective observation, incorrect. I do not wish to say anything about the Duma elections, but I observed the presidential elections for myself and what is being said here is not true."@en1
