Salome Samadashvili: The promise we have received today is that the EU will be extremely active in overcoming the current crisis and will use all possible means to make pressure, including on the government

If the Georgian Dream has the illusion that Mr. Michel will leave tomorrow and will no longer be interested in what is happening in our country, it will not be so. The promise we have received today is that the EU will be extremely active in overcoming the current crisis and will use all possible means to make pressure, including on the government, - Salome Samadashvili, one of the leaders of the National Movement, said after meeting with European Council President Charles Michel.

According to her, the concerns of European allies and strategic partners regarding the situation in the country are extremely high.

"The concerns of our European allies and strategic partners about the situation in the country are extremely high. Everyone understands that a way out of the political crisis must be found, as otherwise the processes that may develop are pleasant only for Russia. The EU has a geopolitical interest in overcoming the political crisis, which is why we had a very thorough conversation both on strengthening the EU's role in finding a way out of the crisis and on the main problems we are facing in terms of overcoming the crisis, such as the issue of political prisoners. Nika Melia and Giorgi Rurua need to be released in order to start overcoming the crisis and the country needs a new, renewed democratic process. This process may be the new parliamentary elections. We had a detailed conversation about all this and about the way out of the political crisis. Our partners are well aware that it is impossible to simultaneously arrest political leaders and talk about dialogue," said Salome Samadashvili.
