lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to say first of all that Mr Kowal and myself are now no longer members of Poland’s Law and Justice party, and we take a very dim view of the fact that in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, members of Law and Justice sit together with members of the United Russia party. I would like to say that what is happening in Russia today must give rise to fundamental doubts about the democratic character of that country. In this House today, no one is in any doubt that the elections in Russia were not true elections – and that the opposition in Russia is being persecuted – not just in terms of the procedure for counting votes itself, although practically every day brings to light new facts about how the counting of votes was not conducted fairly during the recent presidential elections, because democracy is, of course, something more than just the technical process of voting and of counting the votes – it is also all the circumstances: freedom of the media, freedom of political parties and freedom of speech. These things do not exist in Russia, and so even if a technically fair system of voting was guaranteed – going to the ballot box, casting your vote and the fact of counting that vote – even then we would not be able to speak of fair elections in Russia, because nothing else besides the technical act of voting is democratic in Russia. Today, the European Union should be taking a much stronger line because – and I want to say this very clearly – the Russian people deserve freedom, and this is what we wish them."@en1
