”The whole world is warning us not to allow the establishment of an authoritarian regime in Georgia, and I am confident that the unity of the Georgian people will win,” said Giorgi Vashadze, leader of the Strategy Agmashenebeli party, at a plenary session of the Georgian Parliament.

According to Vashadze, Georgia will be a united, strong country that will become a member of the European Union.

“I would like to read you one quote that is associated with our compatriot of Georgian origin. “Georgia will have no friends except Putin’s Russia. Welcome under the wings of the double-headed eagle. Georgians, don’t let this happen to you. Take care of freedom,” these words belong to Boris Akunin, a world-class writer of Georgian origin, who knows very well what such a law did to Russia. That is why the whole world is warning us not to allow the establishment of an authoritarian regime in Georgia, and I am sure that the unity of the Georgian people will win.

I believe that Georgia will be a united, strong country that will join the European Union. Don’t be afraid, don’t be nervous. This country will become a member of the European Union. We will make Georgia’s economy prosperous. It will be a very good country for you and your children, and unlike you, we will never sabotage the national interests of Georgia. We will always pursue the people’s interests. Let’s stick together, as Boris Akunin calls on us. Georgians, let’s not let this happen to us. And let’s not give these people the opportunity to lead us astray from the European integration path. Georgia will be a member of the European Union, and you will never be able to wash away the stain of what you are doing now,” said Giorgi Vashadze at a plenary addressing the Transparency of Foreign Influence bill.
