"While I do understand the desire of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament to say something about the Russian elections, the text they have presented is of no assistance to the promotion of Russian democracy or even actually to social democracy itself. I do not understand the attachment of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe to the somewhat wishy-washy wording of the text. And I do not believe that Russian democrats Garry Kasparov and Mikhail Kasyanov, who are presently here in Strasbourg, would be proud and happy that the European Parliament has adopted a toothless text. In my opinion, the chair’s conference decision to permit this resolution to be conceived at this very moment was a mistake. We can, however, perhaps correct this mistake by referring to more independent analyses and by having a candid and dignified dialogue with Russia, and not by attempting to please the highest ranks of the regime in the name of business deals. One such egregious example is the French decision to sell Russia Mistral-class offensive weaponry, which will then proudly sail around near the coastal waters of EU Member States. the sale of the Mistrals is a fateful error!"@en1
