(ANSA) - Moscow, January 18 - Russian opposition political
activist Alexei Navalny has blasted alleged "links" between
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Italy's League and 5-Star
Movement political parties in an exclusive interview with ANSA.
"The links between the Putin regime and the Italian
establishment are irrational and quite irritating," Navalny
said.
"I'd like it to be more a friend of the Russian people and
less of Putin's oligarchs".
Navalny said he is not giving up his political battle in
Russia and blasted Putin's administration as "feudal".
"Vladimir Putin has chosen to stay in power with the
president-for-life formula and he is building a feudal system
based on family clans, who now control 85% of our economy,"
Navalny said.
"Today independent political activity in Russia entails
risks, but I'll keep going, there's no alternative.
"We are fighting for our right to participate in the
construction of Russia's future".
