(Lissabon, Portugal) – The Portuguese gay and lesbian group Panteras Rosa (Pink Panthers) today hit out against the Russian authorities after the weekend’s violence in Moscow during Gay Pride. And the group were also scathing about the silence of both the European Union and the Portugese Prime Minister José Sócrates who was in Moscow for talks at the Kremlin yesterday with President Putin. “The 27th of May was a day of shame for the Russian authorities. But it was also a day of shame for José Sócrates and for the EU – and we will not forget it,” the Pinks Panthers said in a statement today.
