If something happens to Mikheil Saakashvili in prison, the Government representatives will be fully responsible for it. In this case, forget everything, forget what you can get from Europe, MEP Raphaël Glucksmann said.

According to him, the former president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, should be allowed to go to Europe and be treated there.

"This issue is directly related to the candidate status. If the Government of Georgia wants the status of a candidate, then the first and main step should be to give Mikheil Saakashvili the opportunity to go to Europe and receive treatment there. If something happens to Mikheil Saakashvili in prison, the Government representatives will be fully responsible for it. In this case, forget everything, forget what you can get from Europe. Now here, in this Parliament and outside this Parliament, this is a litmus test. If you want Georgia in Europe, and we all want it, then Misha's case is a small step taken on this path," said Raphaël Glucksmann.
