“Georgia wants to join the European Union, but at the same time, it criticizes the EU and spreads disinformation,” said German Ambassador to Georgia Peter Fischer, who is attending the court trial of Mzia Amaglobeli, founder of Batumelebi and Netgazeti media outlets, in Batumi.

According to the Ambassador, if Georgia wants to join the EU, it should not speak badly about it.

“I represent Germany. We are longstanding friends and partners with Georgia, and we are a member state of the European Union. Georgia wants to join the European Union, but at the same time, it criticizes the EU and spreads false information, I would say disinformation, about the EU.

If you want to join an organization like the European Union, it is not a good idea to speak so badly about it. I have a question for Imedi TV. Why did Imedi TV say yesterday that I gave instructions to the radical opposition? I have a question for you. On what basis did you spread that information? Because this information is false, and I challenge you to prove it,” he said.
