Salome Samadashvili: The European elections tell us that we have a window of several years to enter Europe - if we defeat Ivanishvili's Russian regime, we will go to Europe, but not only for the football championship

The European elections tell us that we have a window of several years to enter Europe. It's our turn, will Bidzina Ivanishvili's Russian regime remain at the head of this country? - This window will also be closed. Will we defeat him? We will go to Europe, but not only for the football championship, - Lelo deputy Salome Samadashvili writes on social networks.

According to her, defeating Ivanishvili on October 26 is the most important thing that a modern Georgian citizen can do in his lifetime.

"What does the result of the European elections mean for us, the citizens of Georgia?

  1. The front opposing the EU has been defeated, the same policy will continue at this stage on the further enlargement of the EU. In the new European Commission, the mandate of European Commissioner for Enlargement will be the most important post, likely to be claimed by large and influential countries. The main issue will be Ukraine and the European project - that is, Europe from Lisbon to Tbilisi. A historic opportunity is given to us if we defeat the Russian government in October.
  2. Where the far-right forces won relatively more seats (the worst result is in France, obviously), the anti-immigration platform was the leading one, and in general, better protection of the internal space of Europe. That is, for those who will not be members of the European Union, Europe may become more inaccessible in the future. Therefore, when there is a chance to lose visa-free travel due to Ivanishvili's policy, the choice is simple - either you will be inside Europe, or outside, behind even more dividing barriers, in an insecure, poor space.
  3. Ukraine's support will continue, pro-Russian forces could not strengthen their position at the common European level. Finally, this election tells us that we have a window of several years to enter Europe.

It's our turn, will Bidzina Ivanishvili's Russian regime remain at the head of this country? - This window will also be closed. Will we defeat him? We will go to Europe, but not only for the football championship. Defeating Ivanishvili on October 26 is the most important thing a modern Georgian citizen can do in his lifetime. This is our Didgori to save this country," Samadashvili wrote on the social network.

Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Georgia Meline Arakalian - to be frank, I think it will take a lot of time to rebuild the trust in the Georgian government
