Ivanishvili, in fact, has taken Georgia hostage - he believes that the method of attacking Europe has worked, sanctions were not imposed on him, and that is why we got the candidate status, - EuroOptimists Chairman Roman Gotsiridze said on PalitraNews.

As he said, the fact that Georgian Dream is now attacking not only Europe, but also the USA, brings Bidzina Ivanishvili closer to sanctions.

According to him, if the European Union refuses Georgia to start negotiations in December, it will be a fact that neither elections nor fair court reform has been implemented.

“Why did Ivanishvili create People's Power? In order to attack Europe. As if Europe is not returning his 800 million to him, because of enmity. Ivanishvili, in fact, has taken Georgia hostage, and instructed the government to settle his personal affairs. He believes that the method of attacking Europe has worked, sanctions were not imposed on him, and that is why we got the candidate status.

Ivanishvili is very wrong. His sanctioning as the de facto ruler would really mean that Georgia should not be given candidate status. Because of all this, Europe turned a blind eye to some things, but from now on, no one will turn a blind eye to anything. The fact that Georgian Dre­am is now attacking not only Europe, but the USA as well, brings Bidzina Ivanishvili closer to sanctions. If Europe rejects Georgia in December, it will be a fact that neither elections nor fair court reforms have been implemented, and this will be a cause of great heartbreak for Europe. If Ivanishvili resents all of Europe by the law against LGBT propaganda, or anything else., who can be satisfied with that? - Only Russia", said Roman Gotsiridze.
