“The counseling tone, which some European Commissioners dare to speak to the Georgian people, is unacceptable,” said Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili.

According to the Speaker, in response to the confrontative tone, Brussels will have to listen to the Georgian people’s grounded assessments.

“Our main evaluator is the Georgian people. The Georgian people value the Georgian government. Soviet Moscow had such a plan for assessing Georgia, which outlined five-year plans for us. Now they outline a 5-point plan or some recommendations. The main principle on which the international order is based is the respect for other people’s sovereignty.

The counseling tone, which some European Commissioners dare to speak to the Georgian people, is unacceptable. Some post-Soviet politicians have claims to speak on behalf of the Georgian people. Individuals elected by Esotnia or some other countries speak to us, Georgians, on behalf of the Georgian people. There is no greater cynicism and disrespect for independence than this.

We have our assessments toward Brussels. We speak loudly and will continue to speak up. Since Brussels decided to adopt such a confrontational tone and combine the role of curator and guardian for the Georgian people, it will have to listen to the Georgian people’s grounded asessments. Brussels abandoned European values, and is moving backwards towards the Soviet Union,” he said.
