Georgia’s First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Gia Volski, says the European Union’s latest resolution on Georgia “does not rely on fair information.”

Volski argued that the EU obtains its information from non-governmental organisations and certain political parties that he says are involved in plans “to radicalise ongoing processes in the country.”

Volski suggested that for objective assessments regarding corruption or election fraud, observers should instead look to reports from the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).

“The European Union’s resolution is not based on fair information,” Volski stated. “They get their information from sources they themselves have created – from non-governmental organisations and some political parties that are involved in plans to radicalise processes,” he noted.

He added: “Several such resolutions have been adopted. For fair conclusions regarding corruption or election fraud, we should look to the document of the most competent organisation – OSCE/ODIHR, where nothing of this kind is written.”
