I voted in favour. As Werner Schulz declared: ‘Parliament has today adopted the motion tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and in its resolution it has expressed its support for new elections to be held in Russia. In this way, we MEPs are showing solidarity and support for the demonstrators on the streets of Moscow and other cities. Ten thousand people protested against the manipulation of the elections. They feel deceived and that their dignity has been violated. They do not want a revolution. They want fair elections and real opposition parties to be permitted. Even Mikhail Gorbachev, who, up to now, has been restrained in his criticism of Mr Putin, is calling for these elections to be annulled and for new ones to be held. We must support this democracy movement and not just sit back and watch. The courage and lack of fear of these people point to a new era. The forthcoming EU-Russia Summit must communicate our message clearly’."@en1
