Michael Roth: We are not here to push for regime change - I know it's hard sometimes when a friend worries you, but we have to do it - the ruling party wants to undermine our trust

We are not here to push for regime change. I know it is sometimes difficult when a friend worries you, but we are obliged to do it - the ruling party wants to undermine our trust, - said the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag, Michael Roth, at a press conference after the meeting between the President of Georgia and the delegation of the parliaments of 8 EU countries.

According to him, interventions are important for the member states of the European Union, and intervention during the problem in the country is a correct practice.

"I want to start with a personal note: we have to take into account that the ruling party wants to undermine our trust. I will tell you clearly - we represent different political parties. We have a very different political past and ideological basis. We represent 8 countries, but we all belong to Europe, the European Union, we are here as friends of the Georgian people. We are not here as enemies. We are not here to push for regime change. I know it's hard sometimes when a friend worries you, but we have to do it. Interventions are important for us as EU member states. It is a normal practice that, for example, my colleagues intervene when there are problems in Germany and we see the future of our member states. We share our positions with each other when it comes to the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections. That is one family. Family means diversity. We are here to express solidarity with the majority of Georgian citizens who are reaching for EU membership and believe in the values ​​of democracy and fair and free elections," said Roth.
