Grzegorz Braun versus Russian oppositionists in the European Parliament. “Shame to be a putinist”

It is a shame to be in favor of Vladimir Putin's aggression in Ukraine and want to have a dictatorship in his own country – so Russian oppositionist Ilja Jaszyn told Grzegorz Braun during a meeting in the European Parliament.

The Foreign Affairs Committee in the European Parliament met with Russian oppositionists. They took part in the meeting Julia Navnathe wife of Alexei Navalny, who died in prison – the leader of the Russian opposition, as well as the released during the exchange of prisoners in 2024 by Vladimir Kara -Murza and Ilja Jaszyn.

Grzegorz Braun was also present, who was excluded from the plenary meetings of the Chamber due to the disturbance of the ceremony commemorating the victims of the Holocaust at the EP. However, MEP may continue to participate in committee meetings.

Braun: I don't want to be part of an anti -Russian crusade

“I don't want to be part of your anti -Russian crusade,” Braun said to Russian oppositionists. – My country, my nation, I personally, we are not going to your war – he emphasized.

As Braun added, he does not think that the role of PE was to change someone's mentality or government. – I hear very clear calls to change someone's presidents, governments and regimes. However, I think that European Parliament He is not in a position to criticize everyone around, because in Europe people are imprisoned for what they said and wrote – he recognized.

Braun believes that “over three thousand people were imprisoned in Great Britain for some critical comments on Facebook towards the regime, incompatible with political correctness.”

Russian oppositionists answer Braun

First, he answered the Pole Kara-Murza. – The Lord, who is a fan of Putin, we want to say that we will envy that you can sit in this committee and express your opinion freely. And that you are not afraid, that he will be poisoned, that someone will shoot you in the back or that you will go to prison, such as me – said the oppositionist.

In turn, Jaszyn told Braun that calls to overthrow the government and the president in another country, which Braun apparently hears in the EP, he has been hearing from Putin since 2022 on the subject Ukraine. – And this is not just a claim. Putin sent troops to Ukraine to overthrow the democratically elected president and the government in the neighboring independent country – said the Russian.

“It's a shame to be a putinist”

– When you criticize the so -called violations human rights In Europe, it seems that you do not see the obvious truth, which is Putin's aggression – he noted.

– You are a member of the European Parliament. It is a shame to be a putinist in 2025. It is a shame to be in favor of Putin's aggression. It is a shame to be a European and want to have a dictatorship in your own country. It's a shame – Jaszyn argued.

Braun was deprived of the MEP immunity – the European Parliament decided in the vote on May 5. It was for an investigation into Braun's extinguishing chanucin candles in the Sejm. On Tuesday, the prosecutor's office announced a referral to the PE of another application for the revocation of immunity.
