According to Chairman of the State Duma, all decision-making processes in each inter-parliamentary structure are based on the consensus principle, while the OSCE PA “dances to the tune” of Washington

“It is time to say goodbye to the OSCE PA. The organization is absolutely dependent, politicized, dancing to the tune and obeying to Washington. But the worst thing in this situation is that we continue to pay money, and we are one of the largest payers. Therefore, we should leave, stop sending money and proceed from the fact that until they understand the reason, we have nothing to do there,” said the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin Volodin Vyacheslav Victorovich Volodin

According to the Chairman of the State Duma, all decision-making processes in each inter-parliamentary structure are based on the consensus principle, just as it is in the CSTO PA, BRICS, SCO, EurAsEC, “when we hear each other and develop decisions taking into account the opinions of our counterparts.”

“What do we see there? There is the deadlock which is the result of Washington's policy, especially during Biden's presidency. He himself is unconscious, and all his institutions are the same. Therefore, we should make relevant decision, as it is conscious. And we will once again insist that the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, which has been undermined, should be observed,” added the Chairman of the State Duma.

Vyacheslav Volodin noted that the OSCE and PACE “are politicized organizations where they constantly talk about democracy, but they themselves do not comply with procedures, rules, or principles.”

“The time will come when all those who act this way will come to Moscow, to Russia. Many have already realized the situation. But even then, all these institutions will be reformatted, and most importantly there will be re-elections. Elections to the European Parliament will be held in June. There will be no one of those pursuing the anti-Russian policy, imposing alien values, interfering in internal affairs. They will not be elected, you will see. And then we will discuss issues, but on the principles of reciprocity, mutual respect, friendship and let me emphasize once again non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. But Washington should understand the consequences of the policy of hegemony. It will destroy its own country, the situation is quite close to that,” added the Chairman of the State Duma.

At the proposal of Vyacheslav Volodin, on February 21 the State Duma will consider at a plenary meeting the issue of suspending the participation of the permanent delegation of the Russian Parliament in the work of the OSCE PA.

“We should ask our heads of relevant committees, Petr Olegovich [Tolstoy] to prepare the decision by February 21 and next week, on Wednesday, we will take the decision together with the Federation Council,” added the Chairman of the State Duma.
