The message that the government does not deserve and the people do is not marketable. If the government does not deserve the status, why should this status be granted to us? It will not be given to us! - Georgian Dream Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said at a briefing held at the party's office.

According to him, it is important for EU leaders what the government is doing.

"Out of these ten countries, if someone is ready to become a member of the European Union by 2030, Georgia should be the first, with its economic conditions, its democratic system, and all indicators. Accordingly, we will consistently continue to take all appropriate steps. Georgia will be the first and advanced by 2030 among the countries that have the ambition of EU membership. When the incumbent President of Georgia confronts the foreign policy tasks set by the government of Georgia, any refusal can be easily explained. The government of Georgia has the goal of strengthening the state, including the goal of strengthening its foreign positions. We see that Salome Zurabishvili is acting with opposite interests. Therefore, any refusal of the government is absolutely logical.

She directly stated in the building of the parliament of Georgia that our country only formally fulfills the requirements of the European Union, which means that Georgia does not deserve the status of a candidate this year. She said this directly. Do you think there are fools in the European Union? The government does not deserve it and the people deserve it? Isn't that stupid? Is that how EU leaders make decisions?! It is important for them what the government does. The government and the people are one and the same because people elect that government. Therefore, this message that the government does not deserve the status, but people do, is not marketable. If the government does not deserve the status, why should this status be granted to us? It will not be given to us! This is exactly what Salome Zurabishvili says, she directly opposes, rudely opposes the interests of receiving candidate status. We have the opposite interest, we have an interest to receive the candidate status in December", said Irakli Kobakhidze.
