The spokesperson [Anitta Hipper] has been shunning responsibility for the October 4 violence behind outdated propaganda formulations for two weeks and addressing Georgians with ethnic epithets, – Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili writes on Facebook, responding to the statement of the European Commission Lead Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Anitta Hipper, that the Georgian Dream is resorting to repressive measures that are clearly inspired by the Russian propaganda machine.
As Papuashvili writes, “reckless activism is a sad face of Brussels’ current foreign policy.”
“People supported and encouraged by this European Commission spokesperson [Anitta Hipper] committed crimes on October 4. That day, our country barely escaped bloody chaos and a return to the 90s.
At the moment, 62 people have been arrested and are awaiting trial. For two weeks, the spokesperson has been shunning responsibility for the October 4 violence behind outdated propaganda formulations and addressing Georgians with ethnic epithets.
Reckless activism is a sad face of Brussels’ current foreign policy,” Papuashvili wrote.
For information, according to Anitta Hipper, the European Commission’s lead spokesperson for foreign affairs and security, the Georgian Dream is resorting to repressive measures “that are clearly inspired by the Russian propaganda machine.”
“We condemn any form of violence and, of course, what is happening there does not go unnoticed,” the European Commission spokesperson said, when asked whether the European Commission was monitoring the situation in Georgia.
“That is why we are working on sanctions, we are working to ensure that no money goes to the Georgian authorities, and we are working to support civil society, journalists and all those who are peacefully working for a better future and who do not give up on the hopes and values that Europe represents,” the European Commission spokesperson said.
