The Lower House of the Parliament of the Czech Republic passed a resolution calling the current Russian government a terrorist regime.
One of the provisions of the resolution is “the current Russian regime is defined as terrorist, according to the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe”.
The document condemns the fake referendums that Russia held in the occupied territories to legitimize its “unification” with the Russian Federation and systematic Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
Out of 156 MPs, 129 voted in favor of the resolution, which is supported by the entire political spectrum, with the exception of right-wing Eurosceptics from the SPD (Freedom and Direct Democracy) party and some representatives of other parties.
The resolution was also supported by some members of the opposition ANO, the party led by former prime minister Andrej Babis.
On October 13, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe unanimously adopted a resolution calling the Russian Federation a terrorist regime. The resolution also contained an amendment calling for more air defense systems to be provided to Ukraine. PACE was the first international organization to declare Russia a terrorist state.
Similar resolutions were later adopted by the parliaments of Poland, Estonia and Latvia.
