**Georgia’s Ex-President Accused of Being a Hired Lobbyist**
The speaker of the Georgian parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, has made some serious accusations against Georgia’s fifth President, Salome Zurabishvili. According to Papuashvili, Zurabishvili is a hired lobbyist for the McCain Institute, an organization that was planning a revolution in Georgia.
Papuashvili claims that Zurabishvili’s recent open letter to EU foreign ministers and Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative, is actually a letter from the McCain Institute addressed to Kallas. This means that, in Papuashvili’s opinion, Zurabishvili is simply carrying out the institute’s agenda.
**The Controversy Over Salome Zurabishvili’s Letter**
Zurabishvili’s letter expressed concern about the situation in Georgia and called on the EU to support the Georgian people. However, Papuashvili sees this as a attempt by the McCain Institute to influence EU policy from behind the scenes.
Papuashvili argues that when a Georgian politician is openly backed by a foreign organization with a hostile policy towards the Georgian people, it’s clear what purpose they serve. In this case, he believes Zurabishvili is acting as a hired lobbyist for the McCain Institute.
**The Implications of Papuashvili’s Accusations**
If true, these allegations would be extremely serious. The McCain Institute has been accused of planning a revolution in Georgia, which would imply that they have a hidden agenda to destabilize the country and influence its politics.
Papuashvili’s accusations also raise questions about Zurabishvili’s loyalty to the Georgian people and her intentions as a politician. The EU will need to carefully consider whether or not to take Zurabishvili’s letter seriously, given these allegations of behind-the-scenes manipulation by the McCain Institute.
