"Mr President, I am very pleased that Mr Uspaskich spoke before me, because, as an election observer in Russia myself, I can confirm what he witnessed. Ms Gardini also reported the same thing. The course taken by the debate was significant. Anyone who failed to join in the chorus criticising Russia was immediately branded as stupid, as my Czech colleague has characterised me, or accused of talking nonsense, as Mr Brok has described Ms Gardini’s contribution.
The same people who want to give Russia a lesson in freedom of opinion and pluralism are not prepared to tolerate freedom of opinion in this House; the fact that they are not even aware of this contradiction is particularly dramatic. The Russians are not children. They know how they wish to organise their own democracy and they wanted stability from these elections. They never want a return to those thieving times under Mr Yeltsin, when many of those who now live in the West shamelessly profiteered on Russia’s assets. That is the background to this electoral result."@en1
