  • Macron urges Putin to respect free speech and democracy at pre-G7 talks

    https://www.euronews.com/2019/08/19/...alks-in-france


    French President Emmanuel Macron told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he must respect democratic principles as the leaders held a joint press conference in France.
    "We called this summer for freedom of protest, freedom of speech, freedom of opinion and the freedom to run in elections, which should be fully respected in Russia like for any member of the Council of Europe," he said. "Because I believe in a European Russia."
    Putin retorted that he did not want a situation like the Gilets Jaunes protests his own country and said those who are guilty of breaking protest laws should be held responsible.
    lol it ain't working Putin. Read the media...oh yeah it is fake news. lol
