The PACE agenda is dictated by marginal political forces, in particular Ukrainians. The leader of the United Russia faction, Sergei Neverov, stated this today in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Look who in PACE is involved in culture, science, education - a member of the council, the vice-president of PACE is a certain Aryev. He is known for being detained at the Warsaw airport for transporting marijuana, causing scandals in a supermarket, demanding that they speak to him exclusively in Ukrainian, calling the police at a concert in Kiev, where spectators came to look like pioneers,” Neverov said.
Therefore, he believes, it is not surprising that in the PACE conclusion on violations of the rights to study native languages, 58 pages are devoted to Russia and no attention is paid to what is happening in Ukraine.
“The reasonableness and adequacy of our colleagues fades into the background due to the anti-Russian Russophobic views of the delegations of the Baltic countries, Ukraine, and Poland,” Neverov summed up.
