Russia slams EU parliament resolution on elections
MOSCOW – Russia's Foreign Ministry has criticized the European Parliament for passing a resolution calling on Moscow to guarantee free elections and lift curbs on the opposition People's Freedom Party, Radio Liberty reported.
The ministry called the resolution, passed earlier on Thursday in Strasbourg, a crude attempt to interfere in Russian internal affairs.
The European Parliament's resolution, passed with a clear majority by the parliament in Strasbourg, said the body "deplores" the decision to reject the registration of the People's Freedom Party last month.
It added that such restrictions showed continuing obstacles to political pluralism.
