And, of course, occurred on the eve of the vote the most important event – the launch of a cargo transportation on the railway part of the Crimean bridge and opening to traffic four lanes for vehicles on the Federal highway “Tavrida” – confirmed that the Peninsula is rapidly developing, and the “locomotive” do not stop.

For many was a surprise: in the Crimea on the eve of the decisive date of the vote, came a group of MPs, politicians and public figures from European countries, which in the morning went to the polling stations of the Peninsula to monitor the plebiscite. And the main impression was the high turnout recorded at polling stations: 12 hours of July 1, it amounted to 72% (1 086 717 electors).

deputies of the European Parliament started with a visit to a polling station in Simeiz, located in the local village club, and in Alupka, located in the school N 1 named after hero of Soviet Union Amet-Khan Sultan. The guests laid flowers to the monument to the legendary pilot ACS. But locals greeted the guests loaves. The head of delegation, member of the European Parliament Committee on foreign Affairs, President of the Association “Franco-Russian dialogue” Thierry Mariani admitted that he was surprised by the organization of the voting process from the point of view of observance of sanitary rules.

– For the Crimea today’s vote is an opportunity to reaffirm the choice that was made in 2014, – said Mariani. – The future of the country is elected by the people, not a group of people. Europe does not want and does not want to recognize the will of Crimean people in 2014 to secede from Ukraine and join Russia. But we once again see that everything is distributed in the EU, the data about the occupation of the Peninsula – far-fetched: in the Crimea more likely to get sunstroke than meet the military.

A Deputy in the Parliament of Berlin Gunnar Lindeman noted that the high turnout in the Crimea says that the referendum is democratic.

– Technically everything was well organised for us sanitary measures are important, and we wanted to see how it will be organized in Russia in terms of coronavirus pandemic, said Lindemann. – We wanted to learn how to organize elections in Germany next year.
