“The authoritarian regime lies when it accuses the European Union of interfering in the country’s internal affairs, if anyone violates rules and conditions, it is Ivanishvili’s Dream,” said Teona Akubardia, a member of the Gakharia for Georgia party.

According to Akubardia, the anti-Western rhetoric of Ivanishvili’s government is directly linked to the Kremlin’s rhetoric and that is why it fights against Georgia’s European future.

“The authoritarian regime, of course, lies when it accuses the EU of interference in internal affairs since all commitments taken on the path of Georgia’s democratic development and EU accession are signed by Ivanishvili’s regime. When they violate this commitment, they receive criticism.

The anti-Western rhetoric of Ivanishvili’s government is directly linked to Kremlin’s rhetoric and that is why it fights against Georgia’s European future to retain power through Kremlin’s backing.

Democratic reforms, court reform, fundamental rights, freedom of media and all other issues are among the 9 points recommended for EU accession. Irakli Kobakhidze took the commitments and then swerved from the course, as he is used to doing. Therefore, if anyone violates rules and conditions and acts against sovereign choice, it is Ivanishvili’s Dream with Irakli Kobakhidze and his fellows, who openly act against the country’s sovereignty and European future,” she said.
