The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Joseph Borrell, emphasized that the depolarization of Georgia’s internal political life is a challenge that only the Georgian people can address.

“The depolarization of your internal life is clearly something that only the Georgians can solve. There are some issues in which we have an influence, economic aspects, but the polarization of political life, if I entered on discussing that it would be an accuse of interference in your political life. And I don’t want to do it. You have to manage something called unity.

I know personally, that democracy means different approaches, proposing different solutions, opposition criticizing the government, and the government answering the criticism from the opposition. This is part of democracy. But when the criticism becomes too high, When there is no cooperation, when there is no inclusiveness when the level of political debate goes too high, and it prevents from working together to pursue national endeavor. Then it is bad. And my call to everybody is to take it as a national endeavour. And I want to repeat the recipe. The majority has to be inclusive. The minority has to be cooperative. But on that, certainly, my leverage is minimal. It’s up to you. It’s up to the political forces,” he remarked.
