  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 14 hours ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 14 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “We see an unveiled intervention in the internal affairs of Georgia from the outside. This is an internal matter of Georgia. We do not want to interfere there in any way.” 14 hours ago
  • Charles Michel
    Charles Michel “If they want to join the EU, they have to respect the fundamental principles of the rule of law and the democratic principles.” 14 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Under our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support the defence and security across a range of essential capabilities - from its air force to its air defence, from drones to demining. If Russia or anyone else were to attack Ukraine, we will work with Ukraine immediately at the highest levels to coordinate how to help you beat back the threat.” 18 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “This is an unexpected, but, unfortunately for Ukraine, a very effective move. Unlike many top Russian officials, Belousov has not been involved in corruption scandals and has a reputation as a workaholic technocrat and a devout Orthodox Christian. Putin wants him to clean the Augean stables of the defence ministry so that military spending spearheads the resurgence of Russia's economy. The effectiveness of Russia's military-industrial complex will be boosted, and instead of being a 'black hole' of budget spendings, the defence ministry may become a driver of economic growth, when war spendings stimulate the growth of Russia's GDP.” 22 hours ago

“The judiciary is a red line that cannot be crossed. We are going to defend our judicial power and our democracy. Unfortunately the situation is very serious and [Kais Saied] is not giving any answers. He clearly intends to lay hands on the justice system to be able to attack anyone who opposes his decisions.”

“A large opposition front will come into being to fight this authoritarian drift, especially as the economic and social crisis deepens, increasingly isolating Kais Saied... The big problem since the revolution is this mismatch between the people's socioeconomic demands, unfulfilled until today, and the pursuit of neoliberal policies that has continued post-2011. This is the time for the political class to reflect on the mistakes made in the past 11 years and move forward on new terms.”

“A lot of protesters have large printed placards or pictures of journalists and members of parliament, lawyers, who have been arrested or imprisoned since July 25. They want to return to normal functioning of parliament. They want to return to the 2014 constitution, they want Kais Saied to step down and they would like to see new … [presidential and legislative] elections held.”

“The future in Tunisia is really scary to me. For now, we don't know what we will have as institutions. We don't have a parliament, we don't have democracy in our country.”

“There are other protests happening across Tunisia, all of them to show support for the president [Kais Saied]. These protests are to show that there remains support for what the president is doing. This is despite the fact that there is still no plan to pull Tunisia out of the dire economic circumstance it is in.”

“Today is a historical day. It is the first time the majority of the people are with their president. I have known Saied [Kais Saied] for 40 years. I was in the faculty of law with him, I came from Canada to support him. I'm nearly 60 years old, I am doing this for the young people for their future.”

“Saeed [Kais Saied] is against or opposed to many parts of the 2014 constitution - he wants a new regime and he's really willing to change the political system at probably any cost.”

“After Saied [Kais Saied] put the whole country on hold for about two months … he has now produced a set of rules that basically say he holds every form of power, over every aspect of the private life of citizens, ruling over every public and private institution, with no form of checks and balances. The rule of one person is the opposite of democracy. We paid a high price to learn that and that's what people rejected in 2011.”

“His supporters see in him [President Kais Saied] the last, best hope to achieve the goals of the revolution that were never realized. But we know clean people who genuinely want to achieve good aims can sometimes turn into people who chop off heads.”

“The intentions he [Kais Saied] expressed to me were to return Tunisia to that democratic path and to act in a way that was consistent with the constitution. But of course we have to look at the actions that the president takes, that Tunisia takes. So our strong hope and expectation is that Tunisia will return to that democratic path, act consistent with the constitution, unfreeze the parliament, have a government in place to do the work of the people, to be responsive to their needs.”

“It's not that Kais [Kais Saied] is so popular himself, it's people who just really, really hate the incumbent political elite. They blame them for all the country's problems and think that they need to be removed.”

“This is a very concerning development that puts the democracy at great risk of unraveling. An optimistic scenario would be that the Parliament and the Constitution and democratic institutions would prevail and that he [Tunisia's President Kais Saied] would be forced out of office. But I would not bet any money on it.”
