Speaker: EU changes game rules, says Georgia will be discriminated and subordinated nation 

“The European Union not only changed the game rules but also changed the game and declared that you will not be an equal part of the Union, but a discriminated and subordinated nation,” said Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili.

According to Papuashvili, he had reviewed the issue with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who has also expressed concern.

“Everyone is concerned, and I am sure that other candidate countries are frustrated. In the middle of the process, the European Union not only changed the game rules but also changed the game and declared that you will not be an equal part of the Union, but a discriminated and subordinated nation, and that it will determine the vital issues.

Once again, the issues over which the new members will be restricted in the right to vote are security issues, foreign policy issues and finance-budgetary issues. The European Union will modify the agreements so that they will not ask new members, which they consider second-class nations. Can anything be more obvious? This is the direct way to the Soviet Union. The biggest anti-Europeans today are Brussels and the political team that sets the EU agenda,” he said.

Shalva Papuashvili clarified that Georgian society is told that the Georgian people are considered a second-class nation.

“If we become a member of the European Union, we will be a second-class nation. Can there be a bigger scandal than this? The radical opposition members are silent. Let them dare and criticize Brussels. We are interested in whose interests are decisive for them. Let the groups waving the EU flag, who stormed the presidential palace with the EU flag and turned the EU flag into a symbol of violence, tell us whether they are acting in the interests of this country or in the interests of foreign groups,” he concluded.
