“Georgia and its institutions are holding on. They are withstanding the violence of those who lost the elections. They lost the elections,” said MEP Thierry Mariani in the European Parliament which is holding a debate on Georgia.
“There were protests in Tbilisi and you are encouraging these protests against the Georgian state. You are trying to make things spiral out of control. Yet Georgia and its institutions are holding on. They are withstanding the violence of those who lost the elections. They lost the elections. And despite what you are doing, Georgia Dream’s victory has been acknowledged by the Central Powers and the president was elected. The president. Prime Minister was elected in law in line with the laws,” he said.
