The radical opposition and some rich NGOs are portraying themselves as "village builders", one will sing, the other will sew a flag, the third will make a presentation, shoot a video clip and they think that because of this, we have been granted a European perspective and will be granted candidate status, the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, told reporters, responding to the "European March" held today.

According to him, the aesthetics of the 90s were brought to the 21st century.

"For me, in all this, as well as in some other activities, the aesthetics of the "village builders" is more visible. This is the main difference between the Georgian government and the radical opposition and the rich NGOs.

The Georgian government is busy with work. We are building this country, we are building the European house of Georgia. The result of this work is precisely the conclusion of the European Commission and this decision, which we expect.

The radical opposition and some rich NGOs are portraying themselves as "village builders", one will sing, the other will sew a flag, the third will make a presentation, shoot a video clip and they think that because of this, we have been granted a European perspective and will be granted candidate status. We have a positive assessment. This is the sad dead end where the elite NGO sector finds itself today, spending millions to engage in futile business. They think that sewing a flag and holding a rally is doing work, not doing work.

When there was work to be done, they did not join working groups either. You know that they interfered with the decisions of the Parliament. Their idea is that one will sing, the other will do some rally and the village will be built. It's a 90s aesthetic brought into the 21st century. So much money, millions are spent from a foreign country to return a certain segment of our society to the aesthetics - that the country can be built with "hoorays" and slogans, and not by doing work.

Yes, everyone is free, they can say "hooray" and slogans, Georgia has long left the country of slogans in the past. The government of Georgia is busy with work, this is what leads to the European Union," said Shalva Papuashvili.

For information, the "European March" has ended in "Europe Square". Citizens, politicians and representatives of various industries initially gathered at the Rose Square and marched to the "Europe Square".

At the "European March" the citizens chanted - "Our voice for Europe". According to them, in this way they are sending a voice to the leaders of the European countries that Georgia does not want Russia and Georgia's place is in the European Union. The President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili also joined the march.

The "European March" ended with the unfurling of the largest flag of the European Union on the "Europe Square".
