"I voted for this motion for a resolution because I believe that the European Parliament has a duty to give a crystal-clear assessment of the elections in Russia, which were neither free nor fair. I believe that the principles underlying fair elections were grossly contravened. These principles are: even-handed registration of candidates, free and equal access to the media by candidates, and equality between voters (one citizen, one vote). Serious contraventions were also observed in the vote-counting process. I hope that, following the ‘election’ of Mr Putin, the various democratic opposition groups in Russia will rally around a programme of positive political reforms and will offer an alternative to Russian citizens, one with a possibility of becoming a reality in free and fair elections at some point in the foreseeable future."@en1
