“The United States has issued very strong criticism of the European Union, including targeting specific EU bureaucrats who are elected by the people,” MP Nikoloz Samkharadze, Chairman of the Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee, told GPB First Channel.

According to him, the European bureaucrats were displeased by this criticism and began to defend themselves, which is entirely normal.

“European officials also said something quite significant: that no matter how friendly and allied a country may be, it has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of another nation or to dictate to its population which party to support or which candidates to choose. This is the correct stance, but, unfortunately, the same individuals did not apply this principle when it came to Georgia. This is the clearest example of double standards. Given that all of this has recently taken place in Georgia and continues to this day, it leads one to wonder whether they do not regard us as allies, or perhaps do not see Georgia as a proper country, which would be even more troubling. I would prefer not to believe that, but the reality is that it is happening.

There are differing opinions between the United States and Europe on many issues, with the resolution of the Ukraine conflict emerging as a particularly contentious point. The U.S. is endeavouring to develop a peace initiative, but it appears that Europe is obstructing these efforts. They openly express their dissatisfaction, and the line of confrontation is drawn precisely along the issue of Ukraine.

The recent fine on Twitter has given everything a new impetus, which is not welcome by the Americans,” said Nikoloz Samkharadze.
