Who can honestly be satisfied with the results of the EU-Russia Summit? The proponents of liberalism who only see Russia as another area for the market, competition and privatisations, particularly in the fields of energy, research and transport, certainly can. As can Mr Putin, who, legitimised by the post-September 11 attitude adopted by the US, is flouting freedom of expression and increasing police and military pressure on all the peoples of the Russian Federation, particularly the Chechens.
We cannot acknowledge these results. On the contrary, we are firmly on the side of the populations that are the victims of rampant capitalism and fight alongside them to maintain public and social services and to defend the right to work and to retirement. We support the right of the Chechen people to self-determination even more strongly. We condemn Russian military aggression and the hypocritical attitude of the EU and Denmark who, on the orders of the Russians, arrested Akhmed Zakaïev, the representative of the Chechen president, Mr Maskhadov. In short, we cannot vote in favour of the joint resolution of the European Parliament authorising and legitimising military operations in Chechnya."@en1
