Yulia Navalnya gave an emotional speech today, with tears in her eyes, in front of the European Parliament, which commemorated the life of the Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, who died this month in a prison colony in Russia.
Navalnya said her husband was tortured for three years and killed on the orders of Vladimir Putin, who she said was “not a politician but a bloody monster”. “Putin is capable of anything, you can’t negotiate with him,” said Navalnaia, who was applauded for minutes by MEPs.
Very emotional, Navalnaya held her speech in English.
“My husband will not see what the beautiful Russia of the future will look like, but we must be able to see it. And I will do everything I can to make his dream come true, for the evil to fall apart and for this beautiful future to come. Putin must answer for what he did to Russia, to Ukraine and to Navalny You must investigate the lawyers and bankers who help Putin and his allies hide their money You are not dealing with a politician, but with a bloody monster. If you want to beat Putin, you have to be innovative, you can’t hurt him with resolutions or sanctions Putin is the leader of an organized crime group. There are poisoners and assassins in it, but they are all just puppets. The most important thing is the people close to Putin, friends, associates and keepers of the mafia money. I don’t know if Alexei Navalny’s funeral will be peaceful, or if the police will make arrests On Putin’s orders, Alexei was tortured for three years. Putin killed my husband. Alexei’s body was abused. Putin is capable of anything, you can’t negotiate with him. I am here now because your constituents have an important question. They ask you and then they ask me. The question is: “How can I help you in your struggle?”.
