Sergei Neverov: foreign interference overstepped all the boundaries
Head of the United Russia faction commented on the statements by Western politicians expressed their support for Alexei Navalny
“Foreign interference in the situation has overstepped all the boundaries. The statements by Western
politicians, heads of foreign offices, the EU authorities, and the familiar
threats of new sanctions made by the US authorities, all that shows that the Western states intend to destabilize the situation in Russia,” said Sergei
Neverov
Sergey Ivanovich
.
He stressed that it was obvious even to non-political people that all those events were well-planned actions, aimed also at discrediting the elections to the State Duma, which would be held this year.
“I think they do that because they are afraid. They see that our economy has not been affected a lot by the pandemic, and Russia is the first state that developed one of the best, maybe even the best, vaccine in the world, we have good prospects for economic recovery, and some foreign forces cannot stand that. But I am sure that our citizens are concerned and reasonable people and understand the real situation and know all the truth,” Sergei Neverov said.
He drew attention to the small number of participants of unauthorized actions.
“Several hundred people took part in the events in Moscow, and it should be noted that the public transport continued to operate and the dissemination of information was not halted. But look at all the activities in the Internet! Just after the announcement of the court verdict, which, taking into account the behavior of the defendant, who had turned the court session into circus and PR action, who had clearly showed disrespect and disregard not for the President personally, as he had proclaimed himself “his main opponent”, but for state institutions in general, there were so many similar messages in the social networks about the ‘grossly unjust sentence’, ‘end of the regime’, ‘heroism” of the Berlin patient,” said the parliamentarian.
Sergei Neverov also noted the proper work of law enforcement agencies during the recent protests and expressed confidence that they would continue to perform their activities, guided primarily by the need to ensure safety of our citizens and in accordance with the Russian legislation.
“I am not an adversary of open expression of public opinion, as I had also taken part in the protests. But we took part in the protests because the salaries were not paid and we were not able to feed our families. We did not demand any cosmetic changes, did not support or oppose any specific candidates, we just defended our right to life,” said the member of the State Duma.
