Salome Samadashvili: The decision to start the impeachment procedure against the President is a Russian task and another obstacle to obtaining candidate status

According to Salome Samadashvili, one of the leaders of Lelo, the decision of Georgian Dream to start the impeachment procedure against the President is a Russian task and another obstacle in the process of obtaining candidate status for the European Union.

“The decision of Georgian Dre­am to start the impeachment procedure is a Russian task to create another obstacle for our country to receive candidate status for joining the European Union. It is also an attempt to divert attention from the fact that today if anyone should be dismissed, it is the government that allowed the tragedy of Shovi and that is not going to take any steps to investigate what happened and what should be changed in the future so that we can avoid similar tragedies. It continues to sabotage the process of receiving candidate status, including by obstructing the European visits of the President," said Samadashvili.

Michał Kobosko - we hope that your government eventually would either choose the European way, the democratic way or would resign seeing the number, the size and scale of the citizens' protests
