The leader of the Radical Party, Oleg Lyashko, during his first speech to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, criticized the scandalous president of PACE, Pedro Agramunt, calling it "political impotent".

A videotape of his political speech was published on his Facebook page.

Also, the People's Deputy criticized those who defend the head of the Assembly.

"This is nonsense! By his trip on a Russian military plane to Syria, Agramunt discredited himself as a politician. The man who embraced with Assad when he poisoned the children with gas can not occupy the post of the presiding Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, "he stressed..

Lyashko stressed that in his speech he voiced what none of the European politicians hesitated to say.

"Agramunt is a puppet of the Russian special services and turned the Assembly into a hostage to Russia. During the presidency of Agramunt, confidence in the PACE has fallen to the lowest level in all its years of existence since 1949, "he wrote..

According to the People's Deputy, the vote for his resignation was a turning point in the history of the Assembly.

"Or PACE is an important international organization, or - a puppet in Putin's hands.

I am glad that the delegates have chosen the first way. The next step is the expansion of the anti-Putin coalition and the strengthening of sanctions against Russia. The Ukrainians defend not only their own sovereignty, but also security in the whole of Europe, so they expect from Europe not words but real actions, "he concluded..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Lyashko told about the first day in PACE.
