The European Parliament refused to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections held in Russia in September. MEPs stated in a resolution adopted on Thursday that the vote was neither free nor fair, and questioned the legitimacy of the new State Duma. aktuality.sk ↗
The resolution represents the European Parliament's position on the results of the elections organized by Moscow in September. The lawmakers concluded that the conditions of the vote did not meet the standards of free and fair elections. The European Parliament therefore refused to recognize the results.
Not all MEPs backed the resolution. Among others, some Slovak MEPs and several Czech MEPs voted against the proposal. However, their votes did not change the outcome of the resolution's adoption. idnes.cz ↗
The European Parliament also called for the adoption of new sanctions against Russia. Details on their form or on further steps regarding this matter have not yet been provided. interez.sk ↗
The European Parliament's decision means that its members do not consider the results of the Russian parliamentary elections sufficiently credible to recognize their political outcome. Further developments will depend on Russia's response and on whether the European Union proceeds with new restrictive measures.
