ALDE does not condone either Elisashvili’s actions or use of force and chemical weapons against protesters

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) party responded to the statement by Shalva Papuashvili, Chair of the Georgian Parliament.

ALDE shared Papuashvili’s remarks on X and affirms that neither Aleko Elisashvili’s conduct nor the employment of force and chemical weapons against peaceful demonstrators and citizens can be justified.

“Of course, ALDE Party does not condone these actions; that goes without saying.

The same way as we would never condone using violence against peaceful protesters nor chemical weapons on citizens,” reads the X post by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
