Brussels now labels “all reasonable people and true patriots of their countries” as pro-Moscow, a Russian senator has said

Moscow can take it as a compliment that Brussels now labels every reasonable person in the EU a “Kremlin agent,” the Vice Speaker of the Russian parliament’s upper chamber, Konstantin Kosachev, has said

Speaking on Friday at the plenary session of the ‘Peoples of Russia and the CIS’ festival, Kosachev said that Brussels often portrays conservative politicians in the EU as “pro-Russian forces,” even though they have no ties to Moscow.

“We are accused of somehow supporting them – which is not true. It’s just that these politicians see reality the same way we do,” he told the audience.

“So, it’s a compliment to us when everyone who thinks reasonably and stands for their country’s interests is called a ‘Kremlin agent’,” Kosachev said.

He added that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, like many politicians “disparaged” by the EU, are true patriots of their countries and not “agents of the Kremlin.”
