"After the events which took place in Russia, the fraud reported by the European observers on the ground during the presidential elections, we wanted to inform the Russian authorities that it would be more than desirable for them to change their electoral system. According to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, ‘the electoral process had been deeply skewed in favour of one candidate through shortcomings in the registration process for candidates, unequal and biased media coverage and the use of State resources in favour of one candidate’. The international observers attested to ballot stuffing and irregularities in one-third of the voting offices that were checked. We are calling, on the one hand, for the new Russian President to simplify the registration rules for political parties and, on the other, I think it is time for Vladimir Putin to engage in a ‘sincere dialogue’ with the protesters."@en1
