Aucun représentant américain à l'investiture de Poutine

Les Etats-Unis ont annoncé lundi qu’ils n’assisteraient pas à l’investiture du président russe Vladimir Poutine, mardi, qui entamera officiellement un cinquième mandat à la tête de la Russie.

“Nous n’aurons pas de représentant à son investiture”, a déclaré à la presse le porte-parole du département d’Etat, Matthew Miller.

A la question de savoir si le boycott signifiait que les Etats-Unis considéraient M. Poutine comme illégitime, M. Miller a répondu : “Nous n’avons certainement pas considéré cette élection comme libre et équitable, mais il est le président de la Russie et il va continuer à l’être”.

Le président russe, au pouvoir depuis près d’un quart de siècle et sans opposition, a récolté 87,28% des voix lors de la présidentielle, soit 10 points de plus qu’en 2018.
