Speaker recommends that ALDE force Lelo to distance itself from terrorism or expel it from its ranks

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE Party) should either make the Lelo party distance itself from terrorism or expel it from its ranks,” wrote Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili in his Facebook post.

According to Papuashvili, otherwise, the “ALDE itself will become an alliance that supports terrorism.”

Aleko Elisashvili, one of the leaders of the Lelo-Strong Georgia coalition, was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment for an attempted terrorist act relating to a November 29 incident.
