As it is known, this year, on the 9th and 11th of February, the leader of the Russian People’s Democratic Union Mikhail Kasyanov became the subject to public humiliation: firstly, he was thrown with a cake in Moscow and today Mikhail was pelted with eggs.
As the full member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, our political party strongly condemns such actions with respect to our colleagues. The level of political pluralism in Russian Federation not only leaves a lot to be desired but also obliges Ukraine and Europe to support the conscious Russians’ will to live in a democratic country.
Mikhail Kasyanov represents not a large part of conscious Russians who understand the depth of the tragic illness of the Russian society. In view of this, the European Party of Ukraine expresses its support to the Russian People’s Democratic Union and its leader in the fight to establish the ideals of democracy and liberalism in his country. We will strongly promote their political position and will become initiators for the preparation of a joint statement of all ALDE members about the incident mentioned above.
