"I want to talk about a specific example. You know that on November 10 of this year, events took place, in fact, an attack on the Speaker of the National Assembly. 50 people have been charged in these cases so far. A motion was filed in court to detain 42 of them. 20 of motions were rejected, 18 were satisfied. 2 people were arrested in this case, the arrest of another was denied. The main question that arises from these statistics is - what is our assessment and to what extent does this situation correspond to what happened ?”.
