With an ironic message he mentioned the elections in Russia, where the polls opened today, the president of the European Council, Charles Michelwho congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election despite the fact that the election process has only just begun.
“I want to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his sweeping victory in the elections starting today,” he mockingly wrote on social media platform X.
“Neither opposition. No freedom. Not even a choice’, photographing the Democracy issues that exist in Russia.
Would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his landslide victory in the elections starting today.
No opposition.
No freedom.
No choice.— Charles Michel (@CharlesMichel) March 15, 2024
It is noted that shortly before the start of voting, Mr Vladimir Putinwho has been in power for the past 24 years, called on his countrymen not to “deviate from the path” and vote “patriotically” in these “difficult” times.
The election results, short of a shock surprise, are expected to secure a new term for Vladimir Putin, who is virtually unopposed, at a time when Ukrainefaced for two years with a Russian attack, is multiplying its attacks against Russia.
