Zurab Japaridze: The only political leader within the European Union with whom they have normal relations is Orban - this government is leading the country to isolation

The only political leader within the European Union with whom they have normal relations is Orban, this is how the leader of Girchi - More Freedom, Zurab Japaridze, assessed the visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Georgia.

According to him, the government is leading the country to isolation.

"The country is being led to isolation by this government, the only friend of Gharibashvili is Hungarian Prime Minister Orban. Within Europe, in NATO, we have no more friendly countries, while for years there were a number of countries that constantly lobbied for Georgia's interests in NATO and the European Union. This in itself is an indicator that we are already in isolation. The fact that we still maintain the territorial integrity and sovereignty of what we have is simply the good will of our western friends, that they do not sacrifice us to the end, otherwise this country is already isolated. The only political leader within the European Union with whom they have normal relations is Orban. In general, there is nothing wrong with the fact that we have good relations with any EU country, including Hungary and the Hungarian leader, but we must understand that Orban's government is a problem within the EU, for the EU countries, and they, in many cases, openly talk about it," Zurab Japaridze said.
