MP Kadagishvili: Europe in deep crisis, and it turns out police force is needed when protests get out of hand

“Europe is in deep crisis, and this is most visible on the streets of Paris and other capitals,” said MP Irakli Kadagishvili, chair of Parliament’s Self-Government Committee.

It turns out, he said, that when a protest spirals out of control, police force is required after all.

“Sadly, in Georgia’s case, this was used as a pretext for EU leaders to launch a full-scale attack on Georgia. Now it has all come home to roost, and they are finding out what it is like when their own country sees even greater violence and turmoil than what some people were deliberately sowing in Georgia. This is a case of seeing the beam in their own eye before looking for the mote in someone else’s,” Kadagishvili said.
