Statement by President von der Leyen on the death of Alexei Navalny
European Commission
Statement
16 February 2024
Brussels
The news of Alexei Navalny death is horrible, but it also shows that Putin fears nothing more than the dissent from his own people.
Putin and his friends fear nothing more than people that stand up, that speak up.
That fight for freedom and that fight against corruption. Like Alexei Navalny did it.
The world has lost a freedom fighter in Alexei Navalny.
We will honor his name. And in his name we will stand up for democracy and for our values.
My thoughts and my deep condolences are with his family and his friends.
