Representatives of European Parliament’s political groups denounce presidential election

During a plenary session debate on Wednesday 10 April, representatives of the EPP, S&D, Renew Europe and Greens/EFA groups condemned the Russian presidential elections that were held between 15 and 17 March. In particular, they all condemned the holding of the ballot in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

Bernard Guetta (Renew Europe, French) said that Vladimir Putin was a president “again and again", but that he was not the “elected president of the Russian people”.
