European Parliament
Carlo Fidanza  (PPE ),
in writing.
(IT)
I voted in favour of the European Parliament resolution on Russia because given its geopolitical importance as an energy supplier and an economic partner of the EU, I believe that further efforts should be made to protect freedom of information, in the fight against corruption and, consequently, for the conduct of free elections. The EU must accompany Russia in its democratisation process, but must not give backing to those who, for reasons related to internal politics, exclusively want to criminalise the current government.
