According to the member of Lelo, Salome Samadashvili, President Salome Zurabishvili is doing everything to ensure that Georgia does not lose a historic chance to receive candidate status and the government is impeaching her because of this.

According to Samadashvili, that’s why, Georgian Dream is the Russian government. The MP announced this at the plenary session of the Parliament.

"If you were the majority representing people here and not MPs appointed by Ivanishvili, you would have opened this fall session by demanding the removal of the PM who dared to leave unfulfilled all the important requirements that the European Union laid down to us to grant candidate status. Today, the only chance for us to get candidate status remains a political decision. This decision needs political lobbying, and the only official person in this country who can provide this political lobbying is the President of Georgia today. Do you want to impeach the President? On March 20, 2019, I raised the issue of Salome Zurabishvili's impeachment, if you are interested, because she blamed her own country for the events of 2008. This was the real basis for requesting impeachment, but you are the Russian government, you carry out the Russian task and you create a political scandal not about real problems, because you yourself say that the Georgian government started the war in 2008. You are impeaching the President because he is doing everything not to lose our historic chance to get candidate status. That is why you are the Russian government," said Samadashvili.
