Los periodistas rusos, al contrario, son tratados como criminales, aunque sólo hacen su trabajo, es decir, intentan ofrecer la información más objetiva posible. Parece ser que el Gobierno ruso ha perdido el rumbo democrático y que la verdad le resulta peligrosa. Lo único que puedo hacer aquí es instar de nuevo al Consejo y a la Comisión a que se atengan a las reglas.

Journalists, on the other hand, who are simply going about their work in Russia, i.e. endeavouring to produce reports which are as objective as possible, are being treated like criminals.
The Russian Government appears to have lost its fundamental understanding of what democracy is about and truth appears to have become a threat in its eyes. I can only reiterate my appeal to the Council and the Commission to stick to the rules.
