“Instead of dubbing the host government ‘a party’ and similar unbecoming buffoonery unworthy of Georgian audience, it would be better if the British Ambassador answered why did he intend to fund those with extremist agenda, such as EuroUNM’s,” wrote Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Facebook.

The Speaker echoed the British Embassy statement which says: “The UK and Georgia worked together to build cyber resilience and to publicly attribute that attack, unfortunately Georgian Dream has moved away from Euro-Atlantic co-operation, but the threat from Russia remains, including in the cyber sphere.”

“Instead of dubbing the host government ‘a party’ and similar unbecoming buffoonery unworthy of Georgian audience, it would be better if the British ambassador answered the legitimate question asked by the Georgians: why did he intend to fund those with extremist agenda, such as EuroUNM’s ‘Tabula’ or the UNM’s ‘Gia Japaridze’, the declared objective of which is foiling municipal elections. Or, why did he want to fund those, who, in his own words, ‘undermine Georgia’s sovereignty, sow discord and disrupt the lives of ordinary Georgian people,” he said.
