Those who remain in prison today are prisoners of dishonesty, both internal and external, including Brussels – Shalva Papuashvili

According to the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, violent crimes were committed on October 4 at the instigation of the European Union, although no representative of Brussels has publicly condemned the violent storming of the presidential palace to date.

According to Papuashvili, those who remain in prison today are prisoners of dishonesty, both from Brussels and the internal opposition.

“We have said this before, but I think we should talk about it more openly and often. EU funds were used for violent protests in Georgia. We know for sure that the “Molotov cocktail” campaign was financed with EU money; We know for sure, and the head of ISFE has acknowledged this, that the equipment for the protesters to resist the police was financed and distributed to the protesters with EU money, the head of ISFE has acknowledged this. When these facts are there, and in these conditions we see the EU's intervention, we will have our answer to everything;

Secondly, these people climbed the barricades, including at the instigation of Brussels. Do you remember the attempt to overthrow the October 4th government, when the official spokesperson of Brussels publicly expressed support for the October 4th, the previously announced overthrow gathering. Officially expressed support. This was a virtual green light for them to attack the residence of the President of Georgia. "We would like to remind you that to date, no representative of Brussels, nor the EU ambassador, nor any representative of any country has publicly condemned the violent storming of the presidential palace on October 4. As a result, violent crimes were committed, people were imprisoned for being incited and taken to the barricades, and then abandoned in prison. It is precisely this dishonesty that today is the prisoner of the remaining approximately 70 people who have not yet realized that it is better to trust their own country than a foreign state. It is precisely the internal and external, including Brussels, dishonesty that those who remain in prison today are prisoners of," said Shalva Papuashvili.
