Speaker: Term “pro-European Violence” noteworthy

“Paweł Herczyński saying the individuals throwing Molotov Cocktails, firing pyrotechnics and offending police are arrested unjustly, is justifying violence,” wrote Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Facebook.

According to the Speaker, the disrespect of human rights and values has become a regrettable daily routine in the rhetoric of foreign politicians and diplomats.

“It is due to the lack of respect for human rights that the measure of violation is the aggressor, not the victim. Say you are ‘pro-European,’ and then both the Molotov cocktail and the kicking are legitimate weapons of struggle.

Say that your aim is great and then your all means are justified (you cannot but remember the Soviet Union). This is what we deal with. If you exert violence on behalf of the European Union, then the violence is pro-European and justified, while your punishment is unjustified.

They said this when Brussels financed ‘I shot campaign” and during the daytime, MEPs and diplomats declared those who incited violence as heroes. When they attempted to burn people alive with Molotov Cocktails. Have you ever seen the EU Ambassador expressing regret? No, and meanwhile the term ‘Pro-European violence’ circulates in people and watching all this is regrettable.

P.S. And here’s a standard suggestion to avoid the expected victimization. No, this is not an attack on the ambassador; this is a legitimate criticism that needs self-reflection and a response,” Papuashvili said.
