Support for extremist groups by an accredited diplomat in the host country is a gross violation of Article 41 of the Vienna Convention, – this is how Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili assesses the statement of German Ambassador Peter Fischer, who said that Germany rejects political violence and “to claim otherwise is incorrect.”
According to Shalva Papuashvili, the German ambassador “did not condemn the politically motivated violence that occurred near the Tbilisi election headquarters of the Georgian Dream, nor did he withdraw his support for this extremist group.”
“When the German ambassador was writing this post, the very people he met and supported a few days earlier were attacking the Tbilisi election headquarters of the Georgian Dream with fascist chants. He did not condemn this politically motivated violence, nor did he withdraw his support for this extremist group.
Therefore, the ambassador’s assertion to the contrary is incorrect, it is not true.
Support for extremist groups by an accredited diplomat in the host country is a gross violation of Article 41 of the Vienna Convention,” Papuashvili writes on social media.
For information, German Ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, wrote on the social platform X that the German Minister of State for Europe expressed big concern about Georgia’s direction.
“I had a good talk with the German Minister of State for Europe, Gunther Krichbaum. He expressed big concern about the direction of Georgia. Of course, Germany rejects political violence. I have said so publicly in Georgia. To claim otherwise is untrue,” – the diplomat writes.
