Navalny in Putin’s prison and the terrible Bucha pictures are very strongly interconnected in between them. Long—term peace in Europe is possible, not only if Putin loses his criminal war against Ukraine, but also if the Russian people transform their country back to democracy. That is why we support those fighting for democracy in Russia, for Navalny, and for those who were forced to leave Russia, and we support the long—term peace perspective on the European continent. This is what this resolution is about.  The future of Russian democracy is a crucial strategic issue for European security. That is why we need not only to express our solidarity with Navalny, but also we need to have a clear strategy of how we are assisting the case of democracy, for which Navalny is fighting, and of how we are supporting those fighters who were forced to run away from Russia. Let’s help the Russian people to build a better Russia of the future.

Diese Entschließung ist eine Botschaft, eine Botschaft an die vielen Künstlerinnen und Künstler, an Journalisten und Aktivisten, die zu uns kommen, weil sie bei sich zu Hause nicht mehr sicher leben können. Sie ist eine Botschaft an die russische Regierung, dass uns das Schicksal unseres Sacharow-Preisträgers Nawalny weiterhin ein wichtiges politisches Anliegen bleibt. Diese Entschließung ist ein Versprechen, ein Versprechen, dass wir immer an der Seite des ukrainischen Volkes stehen werden und an der Seite der kleinen Minderheit der russischen Bürger sind, die sich mutig diesem Krieg entgegenstellen. Mit dieser Entschließung sagen wir unseren Freundinnen und Freunden zweierlei:

Navalnyj döms till ytterligare 9 års fängelse i en skenrättegång. Vi kräver hans frigivning i den här resolutionen, men vi kräver också frigivning av andra: de tusentals ryska medborgare som fängslas utan grund för att ha demonstrerat för demokrati, för fred och för sina rättigheter.  Ett fredligt och demokratiskt Ryssland är vår bästa och starkaste säkerhetsgaranti, som flera andra kolleger har sagt. Därför måste vi göra allt vi kan för att motverka Putins regim och förtryck. Det innebär att vi måste stötta de demokratiska krafterna, men vi måste också stötta dem som söker skydd i Europa, desertörer och civilsamhället.

We cannot remain silent. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote: ‘In keeping silent about evil… we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold times in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting them, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath the new generations.’ Let us support those brave Russians, so that one day peaceful and democratic Russia triumphs over the forces of oppression.

Pedimos nesta resolução a libertação dos milhares de detidos, na sequência dos protestos pacíficos contra a guerra na Ucrânia, muitos dos quais foram submetidos a maus tratos e outras violações dos seus direitos fundamentais.  Condenamos o bloqueio informativo posto em marcha após o início da criminosa e injustificada invasão da Ucrânia, reforçando as pressões sobre os meios de comunicação independentes que já tinham levado ao encerramento e à deslocalização para fora da Rússia de muitos destes meios, como a Novaya Gazeta ou a Echo of Moscow.  Apelamos à União Europeia para que apoie todos os jornalistas e ativistas que foram obrigados a fugir da Rússia de Putin.

We need to act quickly. The repressive Russia model poses an existential threat to our internal security, and I’m not only talking about Ukraine. There are EU Member States where Russia is considered an example even today. Colleagues, if we do not treat the problem at its core, I fear that in four years we can replace Russia with Hungary in the title of this resolution. So let’s do everything to prevent the escalation of Putinism outside the EU borders today so we do not have to do the same within the EU tomorrow.

Pani Przewodnicząca! Agresja Rosji na Ukrainę wywołuje w społeczeństwach Unii ostre reakcje wobec obywateli tego państwa. Nie możemy postrzegać wszystkich Rosjan jako agresorów czy jako popierających tę agresję. W Rosji istnieje opozycja, są obywatele, z którymi w przyszłości będziemy chcieli i powinniśmy rozmawiać. Rząd Rosji w osobie Putina mocno ograniczył wolność mediów i zgromadzeń. Za najlżejszą krytykę polityki rządu, za najmniejszy protest przeciwko wojnie obywatelom Rosji grozi 15 lat więzienia. Jednak tysiące ludzi wychodzą na ulice. Tylko w protestach w ponad 60 rosyjskich miastach na początku marca aresztowano prawie 5 tysięcy osób. Rosjanie protestują w różny sposób, na przykład umieszczając w supermarketach, w miejscach cen produktów, napisy informujące o agresji na Ukrainę.  Do protestu przeciwko wojnie w Ukrainie wezwał Aleksiej Nawalny. Rosja i osoby odpowiedzialne za śmierć cywilów w Ukrainie i za zniszczenia miast i wiosek muszą zostać odpowiednio ukarane. Pamiętajmy, że nie wszyscy, którzy milczą, są winni.

Monsieur le Président, en 2005, un institut d’études sur le régime russe écrivait ceci: «Pour installer sa dictature plébiscitaire, Poutine a décidé de rompre avec le libéralisme et de le remplacer par une idéologie d’un autre ordre. Poutine a fait entrer son régime dans un nationalisme patriotique, anti-occidental, impérialiste, cléricaliste, militariste, autoritariste et xénophobe». C’est ce visage brutal que nous voyons aujourd’hui en Russie. Ce régime a renforcé les répressions policières, a mis en place une justice aux ordres du pouvoir pour détruire toute velléité contestataire et qui couvre les arrestations arbitraires, telles que celle d’un Alexeï Navalny. L’exil aujourd’hui est devenu le seul moyen pour réclamer une Russie à visage humain. Chers collègues, les dictateurs ne nous écoutent pas, alors c’est aux voix libres que nous devons nous adresser. Ce sont ces voix libres que nous devons aider. Ce sont ces voix libres que nous devons protéger quand elles le demandent.

Vážený pán predsedajúci, Alexej Navaľnyj je dnes v Rusku symbolom slobody, lebo sa postavil Vladimirovi Putinovi svojou kandidatúrou na prezidenta a svojím bojom proti korupcii. Rovnako sa symbolom slobody stala Ukrajina. Odvážne sa postavila Putinovi a jeho krvavej vojne aktívnym vzdorom svojich ľudí a svojej armády.  Vladimir Putin slobodu z duše nenávidí, bojí sa jej možno viac než stíhačiek NATO alebo silnej ekonomiky EÚ. V skutočnosti sa desí tej slobody, zmeny myslenia a prenikania slobody do ruskej spoločnosti. Preto väzní svojich kritikov, likviduje médiá a potláča protesty, rozpútava vojny a bombarduje civilistov. Je jasné, že práve kvôli tomuto strachu sa Putin nemôže zastaviť. Takže sa to neskončí, rovnako, ako sa to neskončilo otravou Alexeja Navaľného či okupáciou východnej Ukrajiny predtým. Zabrzdiť ho môže len sloboda ruskej spoločnosti, ktorú dnes symbolizuje práve Alexej Navaľnyj.

Vážený pán predsedajúci, v Rusku je zákaz hovoriť o vojne, platí zákaz hovoriť pravdu. Kto má odvahu hovoriť pravdu, je vystavený násilnostiam, policajnej brutalite a unesenej súdnej moci. Rusko rozpína svoju krutosť nielen na Ukrajine, ale aj doma na vlastnom obyvateľstve. Opätovné väznenie Alexeja Navaľného je symptómom problémov, ktoré v Rusku rastú už roky. Putin je brutálny diktátor, ktorý ničí občiansku spoločnosť, nezávislé médiá, slobodu slova a pluralitu názorov. Kým bude Rusko diktatúrou, Putina v jeho rozpínavých ambíciách nič nezastaví. A po Ukrajine, dámy a páni, nebude váhať napadnúť aj Litvu, Poľsko či Slovensko. Kým budú v Rusku väznení politickí oponenti, Rusko bude pre Európu hrozbou. Alexej Navaľnyj povedal, že Rusko nebude môcť uväzniť všetkých, ktorí režimu oponujú. Má pravdu. Európa musí podporovať tých, ktorí proti Putinovmu režimu bojujú slovami a činmi. Som hrdý na to, že sme Alexejovi Navaľnému udelili Sacharovovu cenu. Verím, že jedného dňa si po ňu príde osobne.

Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, Aleksej Naval'nyj è stato condannato ad altri nove anni di carcere perché Putin lo considera una minaccia, perché lo teme, perché, proprio come ha dichiarato lo stesso Naval'nyj al momento della condanna, Putin ha paura della verità. Le notizie drammatiche che ci arrivano dall'Ucraina ci fanno proprio riflettere sulla sempre crescente repressione vissuta dal popolo russo in patria. Come ho scritto in una recente interrogazione parlamentare inviata alla Commissione, sono sempre di più i russi che lasciano il proprio Paese per fuggire da un regime sanguinario, capace di tali azioni efferate, e non vanno abbandonati. Putin vuole cancellare ogni libertà. Non c'è spazio per il dissenso in Russia: si va in carcere per motivi politici, la libertà di espressione è una chimera e le minoranze sono perseguitate. Ma c'è chi prova a immaginare una Russia diversa. L'Europa deve aiutare quei russi che fuggono e quelli che resistono: sono studenti, professori, giornalisti, attivisti e moltissime persone comuni, uomini e donne che si oppongono al regime, che scendono in piazza, che vogliono la democrazia. Diamo a Naval'nyj e a tutti loro una speranza.

Putin is at war not only with Ukraine but with Russian people as well. Repressive legislation and actions against free media, free speech and independent reporting, including the closure of media outlets and blocking of websites, and justifies arrests and imprisonment of peaceful protesters, people and opposition leaders, that represent human rights violations and a breach of fundamental freedoms.  Therefore, the European Union and its Member States should offer support and protection to independent media professionals, human rights defenders, opposition leaders and civil society activists, because they are the only ones who can bring peace and prosperity in Russia.

Г-н Председател, руският режим засили по безпрецедентен начин бруталните репресии срещу мирно демонстриращите граждани на Русия, независими журналисти, блогъри, защитници на правата на човека и активисти на гражданското общество в опит да заглуши всякаква критика и противопоставяне на своята незаконна, непредизвикана и неоправдана военна агресия в Украйна. Пропагандата на Кремъл се опитва да идентифицира режима си с хората на Русия.  Въпреки това съм убеден, че ние трябва да подкрепим демократично мислещите, цивилизовани и културни граждани на тази страна, родила велики композитори, писатели, артисти, учени, които са допринесли за обогатяването на световната културна съкровищница. Със сигурност тези хора изпитват огромен срам от управлението на Кремъл, което нанесе задълго неизлечими щети на образа на Русия по света. Алексей Навални прояви безразсъдна смелост и геройство да се върне в Русия, за да бъде веднага арестуван. Той трябва да бъде освободен и то безусловно.  Призовавам Съвета и страните членки да засилят подкрепата си за активисти, независими журналисти и защитници на правата на човека, като им предоставят визи и намерят подслон в Европейския съюз. Застрашените организации и учени трябва да могат да продължат своята работа в Европейския съюз.

Vážený pán predsedajúci, zodpovednosť za ruskú vojenskú inváziu na Ukrajinu mnohí pripisujú len Putinovi a Kremľu. Zabúdame však na to, že táto zvrátená ideologická mašinéria si udržuje svoje postavenie najmä vďaka podpore miliónov Rusov a mnoho Rusov dokonca podporuje zločineckú inváziu ďalej na západ. Vzoprieť sa represiám, zastrašovaniu či dokázať rozlišovať medzi falošnými správami, to si vyžaduje aj odvahu a obetu.  Rusko svoju vojnu začalo už pred zločineckou inváziou na Ukrajinu. Mnoho rokov predtým chrlilo dezinformácie a dlho sme to podceňovali. Aj dnes prebieha okrem tej skutočnej aj informačná vojna. Aj tú musíme vyhrať, a preto je dôležité poskytovať reálne a pravdivé informácie aj Rusom.  Vítam preto túto rezolúciu, ktorej cieľom je okrem iného pomôcť ruskej opozícii, inteligencii a akademikom, ich práci a podpore zmeny režimu na demokratický. Rusko môže byť naším partnerom len vtedy, ak sa zmení v skutočne slobodnú krajinu, ktorá bude rešpektovať elementárne princípy demokracie a slobody, tú náboženskú nevynímajúc.

Pane předsedající, Ukrajina a válečné zločiny z Buče, Irpině, Mariupolu, to jsou skutečně obrázky z pekla, z Putinova pekla. Rusko je země bezpráví. Putin a představitelé tohoto režimu jsou nepochybně představitelé také válečných zločinů a Navalný se jim vydal. Opakovaně se jim dobrovolně vydal. Vlastně promiňte, že to tak řeknu, ale tak trochu za všechny z nás plivl do tváře Putinova režimu, že se nedá zastrašit. Obdivujeme dnes všichni jeho odvahu. Voláme po jeho propuštění. Navalný se nepochybně již dnes stal hrdinou. A kdo je padouch a zločinec, to všichni víme. Já pevně věřím, že Rusko také bude jednou mírovou zemí. A dovolte mi na závěr říct – Sláva Ukrajině!

Media censorship imposed by the Russian authorities has wiped out media freedom in Russia. One of the most recent examples is the internationally well-known independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which has been forced to suspend its activities.  The situation of human rights defenders is particularly dire. We deplore the decision of the Russian Supreme Court to reject the appeal of Memorial to reverse its forced closure. We praise the courage of the Russian human rights defenders and activists who have established the Council of Russian Human Rights Defenders and signed the manifesto denouncing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  The European Union strongly condemns the court ruling to extend the imprisonment of the Russian opposition politician, Mr Aleksei Navalny, by an additional nine years. We will continue calling on the Russian authorities for his immediate and unconditional release as his imprisonment is politically motivated.  We deeply regret that, as a result of Russia’s behaviour, Russian citizens will no longer be able to benefit from the protection granted by the European Convention on Human Rights after September of this year. President Putin is trying to turn back the clock to the times of the Russian Empire, but in doing so he is putting at risk the future of the Russian people. We applaud Russian independent media and Russian NGOs that defend the values of democracy, rule of law and fundamental freedoms. At the same time, we see that the ongoing crackdown on Russia’s civil society and Russia’s war against Ukraine has triggered an exodus of large numbers of Russian civil society activists and individual journalists. They will need further EU support to be able to continue their important work from abroad. The EU is committed to supporting NGOs, civil society organisations, human rights defenders and independent journalists in and outside Russia and, in doing so, averting the isolation of Russian society as a whole.

Mr President, first, I’d like to congratulate my colleague, Angelika Niebler, for her work on this report. Of course, I was happy to vote in favour of it. In an increasingly digitalised world, we are a data-driven society. Data-sharing has huge potential to inform and improve policy, from healthcare to energy efficiency. It was positive to see in this Act, measures to help boost data-sharing across sectors and Member States. Some citizens are concerned that their data may be used to benefit businesses rather than society, or that their personal data will be exploited. Trust is therefore a key consideration in data-sharing, and this Act will ensure that data held by the public sector, industry and individuals will be shared in a secure, controlled and trustworthy way.  This is a good report. I am pleased to support it.

Herr talman! ”Låt oss avsätta folket och välja ett annat i dess ställe.” Brechts kända fras skulle kunna vara rubriken på förslaget om att vi EU-medborgare ska utbildas och ges en gemensam europeisk identitet, för vi medborgare har enligt parlamentet bristande kunskaper i ämnen som europeisk identitet, postkolonialt tänkande, social kompetens och Europas fördelar. Förslaget vittnar skrämmande tydligt om parlamentets odemokratiska syn på folkomröstningar, individualitet och nationella kompetenser. ”Då vi inte kan avsätta folket får vi utbilda det att tänka rätt”, tycks vara mottot. Själv kommer jag att fortsätta vara gotlänning, skåning och svensk – med största respekt för nationalstater och deras suveränitet – hur mycket utbildning ni än tvingar på mig.
