According to Levan Sanikidze, one of the leaders of the “United National Movement,” the government is completely destroying relations with European and Western partners.
Sanikidze commented on the statement of the German Foreign Ministry, which called on the Georgian government to stop “spreading false narratives and to change its current political course.”
Sanikidze stated that every action of “Georgian Dream” harms Georgia’s path to European integration and creates very serious problems for every citizen.
“Georgian Dream is deliberately doing everything to completely ruin our relations with European and Western partners. We wouldn’t care if the issue concerned only ‘Georgian Dream.’ But when ‘Georgian Dream’ is the de facto government and, since October 26, has usurped Georgia’s Constitution and the Georgian state, naturally every one of their actions damages our European integration path and creates very serious problems for each of our citizens. They are increasing day by day the likelihood that Ivanishvili will succeed in sanctioning 4 million Georgians and wasting the unique opportunity of visa-free travel that we were granted. Shalva Papuashvili, who is now engaged only in stalking ambassadors and NGOs’ Facebook pages, does everything except act as the de facto speaker of parliament – he is occupied with cheap gossip and exposing other people’s ‘tagged’ posts. That is his main function. It is very good that our German partners made such a clear statement, which, for now, does not allow ‘Georgian Dream’ to respond with clarity,” – Sanikidze said.
For reference, the spokesperson of the German Federal Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling on the Georgian government to stop spreading false narratives and to change its current political course.
“The Federal Foreign Ministry categorically rejects and condemns Mr. Papuashvili’s unfounded accusations. We are concerned that by spreading disinformation and divisive narratives, he is actively undermining German-Georgian relations,” – the statement reads.
