Pamfilova spoke about the degradation of electoral processes in the West. According to Pamfilova, in order to divert attention from themselves and those around them without noticing the “club in the democratic eye,” the West decided to “pull all the specks out of the eyes of the Russian electoral system.” Earlier, the official representative of the Russia Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that a number of Western countries have not yet confirmed the request for security in the elections.
