Georgia President Salome Zurabishvili expressed her thoughts on the refusal of the ruling Party "Georgian Dream" from the active rapprochement with the West. According to her, the decision was made under the pressure of Moscow, especially after Georgia in December 2023 received the status of a candidate for joining the European Union.
"The status of a candidate was to some extent angry Moscow, who undoubtedly asked or demanded that Georgia to show from what side she positions herself on what side," Zurabishvili said before the documentary "was Abkhazia" in Paris.
The president indicated that after granting the candidate's status, "in fact, from January, the public is watching the" waves of anti -European and anti -Western rhetoric "by the Government of Georgia.
"It started even earlier. There were attacks on Tbilisi ambassadors, but it became a much more official, formal character led by Mr. Ivanishvili, who actually declared war to our 30-year-old partners and friends in order to support Moscow. He accused the Najinskaya In Georgia, the Second Front, as if Europe and the United States, are looking for a new crisis theater, while in our region the only country that was constantly opening new fronts against neighbors was and remains Russia, ”Zurabishvili said.
The President compared the war that Russia is leading against Ukraine today with a political struggle in Georgia.
"The struggle that Ukraine is weapons is in the political arena. It cannot end in the defeat of Ukraine, this struggle cannot end with the defeat of Georgia in the October 26 elections, because this election is existential, vital. After the election on October 26, Georgia will return to its European way, or it will stop.
