The first wave of sanctions against the treacherous government of Georgia has been imposed, and this is just the beginning, Grigol Gegelia, a member of "Lelo", said at a briefing held at the party's office.
According to him, with this step, the United States once again declared that it stands firmly and will stand by the Georgian people until the end.
"They didn't expect it, but the sanctions came. The first wave of sanctions against the treacherous government of Georgia has been imposed, and this is only the beginning. The US and EU are working daily on the next round of sanctions, which will be of a financial and economic nature and will affect more people who are involved in the undermining of Georgian democracy and the unconstitutional change of the foreign vector. With this step, the United States once again declared that it stands firm and will stand by the Georgian people until the end. The first phase of sanctions imposed on dozens of representatives of the "Georgian Dream" serves to protect the democratic interests of the Georgian people, every patriotic Georgian, from the government serving Russia, which has declared war on its own nation and preferred to pursue the interests of Russia over serving the state interests of Georgians.
We no longer have a government that serves the national goals outlined in the Constitution. But we have the support of a completely civilized community and a solid possibility to soon have a government that stands in the service of Georgians and Georgia.
It is not by chance that during the imposition of sanctions, Anthony Blinken openly stated that the USA stands by the Georgian people "before the elections, during the elections and after the elections". This is a message to every Georgian that the US will not allow the hijacking of the elections, the return of Georgia to the Russian orbit and the victory of the Russian special operation in Georgia.
Unfortunately, it was officially announced yesterday that Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration has been temporarily completed. Today, Georgia is represented by a delegitimized, delegitimized government, under which integration into the European and Atlantic structures is officially excluded. This is an alarm call and a final appeal to all Georgians, including the "Georgian Dream" voters. Russians stand on one side, Georgian nation stands on the other side. America's message is clear. The Georgian nation must regain its historical western path and, accordingly, replace the Russian servile regime in order to be able to gain new benefits, including visa-free travel with the US, more military cooperation.
All Georgians, whose goal is peace, security and development, today stand against the Russian government. On October 26, Georgian Dream will receive the main sanction from the Georgian people, and the new coalition government will start immediately," Gegelia said.
