He called the final statement of the French President Emmanuel
Macron about the European future of Russia indicative. “We believe in a Europe stretching
from Lisbon to Vladivostok,” the French leader said. “This is the very concept
of “Greater Europe”, the idea of which belongs to great Charles de Gaulle,” the parliamentarian
recalled and emphasized that our country supports such approaches.
“But for their implementation it
is necessary to take considerable way and abandon dividing lines on the common European continent. And, of course, the anti-Russian sanctions dictated to Europe
from overseas absolutely do not fit into such a context,” said
Leonid Slutskiy
Leonid Eduardovich
.
He believes that France could become a “flagship”
in the process of lifting of the EU sanctions against Russia. “First of all, it would be logical to remove all
restriction measures from parliamentarians, as it is contrary to the very
nature of parliamentarism,” the Chairman of the Committee stressed.
