“Do not recognise these elections,” Navalnaya told European Union foreign ministers at a meeting in Brussels on Monday, according to a transcript supplied on Tuesday by a spokeswoman.
“A president who assassinated his main political opponent cannot be legitimate by definition,” Navalnaya said.
I don’t think any sane person thinks that these are legitimate elections. But the people inside can’t do anything about it and the people on the outside won’t do anything about it.
And pointless. Who do you recognise? His predecessors are dead, his opposition is dead. No one would want to be recognised even in exile for fear he’d have the murdered. So it the state without a head or do we just say what we always have and that it is a dictatorship and that’s all.
