Vice Speaker Volski: Blackmail and trap loom over visa-free travel; despite opposition, this scheme is taking shape

“Georgia is being blackmailed over visa-free travel, and the contours of a trap laid around visa liberalisation, that tempting morsel of cheese, are slowly taking shape, though many are opposed to its being set for Georgia. Hungary and Slovakia are far from the only ones,” Parliament’s First Vice Speaker Gia Volski has stated.

According to Volski, processes are intensifying that are bound up with attempts to oppress Georgia without cause or justification.

“Not everyone agrees with the pursuit of such a policy towards our country. That an entire society should be punished to make it easier to engineer a revolution, that is precisely what has come to characterise Europe of late: injustice. The new United States administration has pointed this out on more than one occasion, incidentally. To listen to Kaja Kallas, everything has lost its value, but one hopes that certain principles are still preserved within the European Union: the principles for which it was created and towards which we aspire. The script has not changed; they are still saying today that Georgia must participate in processes that will destroy it, but which serve their interests. They drew up a plan and are acting according to it; they have created the situation themselves when setting people against the law. Kaja Kallas owes an explanation as to how it came about that her family was making large sums of money from a business her husband ran in Russia. Double standards and incompetence are hallmarks of Kallas’s approach to politics. There are no grounds to accuse Georgia of sanctions evasion or human rights violations, especially when they are actively creating and pursuing a scenario with a very specific objective. Whatever stale plan exists for Georgia’s destruction, they are running the same script. They are thinking about how to punish the Georgian people for choosing peace,” Gia Volski stated.
