Following the death of Alexei Navalny, the European Union is taking significant steps to honor his legacy and respond to his passing. Guy Verhofstadt has penned a letter to the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell (@JosepBorrellF), urging MEPs to sign in support of imposing 'Magnitsky' sanctions against those responsible for Navalny's death, targeting the regime's backbone based on the initial Navalny list. Additionally, Verhofstadt proposes renaming the EEAS building after Navalny. In response, the EU is expected to seek new sanctions against Moscow, as stated by Josep Borrell. Furthermore, Borrell announced the EU human rights sanctions regime will be renamed the 'Navalny sanctions regime' in memory of Russia's most prominent opposition leader.

My letter to @JosepBorrellF to be signed by MEPs. Navalny’s death needs a solid EU response. “Magnitsky” sanctions against those responsible + backbone of the whole regime based on the initial Navalny list. Name the EEAS building after Alexei Navalny to honour his legacy. https://t.co/Hg6ZnQYeXb
