Russia’s State Duma Speaker declared crisis of Western political system
Speaker of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin, concluding the sixth session of the eighth convocation, said that the Western political system is currently experiencing a crisis, RIA Novosti reports
"Dear colleagues! We are witnessing a crisis of the Western political system, which, I must say, has outlived itself,” Vyacheslav Volodin said, adding that American and European leaders, ignoring the interests of their citizens, dragged their countries into the war in Ukraine.
“The anti-Russian policy has cost them dearly: the EU economy is stagnating, the migration crisis is escalating, with people demanding solutions to internal problems. Scholz, Macron, Sunak and others – having lost the support of voters – have been defeated in the elections,” the Speaker of the State Duma believes.
According to him, the world is tired of hypocrisy and double standards. “The time of Washington’s hegemony is over. Increasing numbers of countries are choosing the path of independence in decision-making and equal partnership. Responsible politicians understand that it is important to listen to one’s own citizens and defend the national interests of their countries,” Vyacheslav Volodin said.
The statesman added that Russia stands for a multipolar world, and the parliamentarians of the Russian Federation will do everything to ensure that each country has the opportunity to choose and plan for the future.
