Brussels' policy towards Georgia is at a dead end, it's time for Brussels to come out of the world of illusions - Shalva Papuashvili
A lie cannot become the truth just because Brussels persistently repeats it, - Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, wrote on social media.
According to him, Brussels' policy towards Georgia is at a dead end. According to him, it's time for Brussels to come out of the world of illusions.
"The EU representative to the UN, repeating the usual rhetoric, is concerned about another statement containing disinformation, which repeats the already worn-out lie about "arbitrary detentions" and "repressions".
It is striking that the statements of EU officials, for the umpteenth time, are completely at odds not only with the facts, but also with the values and principles recognized by the EU itself.
It has long been clear to everyone that the violent protests against the Georgian government were partly financed with EU money, including the campaign that justified and incited the use of the “Molotov cocktail”. Moreover, it was after the virtual green light from Brussels that the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the government was launched on October 4 last year.
However, the Georgian people and the Georgian government duly defended the country, its freedom, sovereignty and interests. Today, it is clear to everyone that the revolutionary process financed from abroad in 2024 was defeated. The false reality that was supposed to overthrow the government in Georgia has been dispelled, but the financiers of this lie have themselves found themselves in captivity of their own false narrative, and they have not been able to break away from it to this day.
The false narrative of “election fraud” and “dispersal of peaceful rallies” has been refuted by time and reality. The violent crimes committed have been investigated, the verdicts have been handed down, everything has been documented, recorded, and, moreover, has been admitted by the perpetrators themselves.
Facts have once again overcome perceptions. A lie cannot become truth just because Brussels persistently repeats it, and a perpetrator cannot become a victim just because some EU official wants it to.
Yesterday’s statement by an official EU representative confirms once again that Brussels’ policy towards Georgia has reached a dead end. Brussels is like a soldier who did not learn that the war is over and is still planning military operations.
It is time for Brussels to emerge from the world of illusions. If EU officials want to normalize relations with Georgia, they should stop using aggressive rhetoric towards Georgia, abandon the information service of a defeated revolutionary scenario, and return to the elementary principles of diplomacy: respect for facts, Georgia’s sovereignty, and the democratic choice of the Georgian people,” writes Shalva Papuashvili.
