Tobias Cremer: Georgians fighting for their country

“Georgians are fighting for their country. They are fighting for their democracy. They are fighting for their freedom,” said MEP Tobias Cremer in the European Parliament which is holding a debate on Georgia “Crackdown on peaceful pro-European demonstrators in Georgia.”

“Georgians are fighting for their country. They are fighting for their democracy. They are fighting for their freedom. And these people are fighting in Georgia. But they do so under the blue banner with golden stars. The banner of Europe is for Georgians, the banner of freedom.

And Georgians are risking their lives for this blue banner. And wherever we went as MEPs, people came up to us waving this European banner, cheering us, but also asking us, Where is Europe in this hour of truth?” he said.
