Estonian and Lithuanian politicians, Michelson and Pavilions tried to discredit the EU Ambassador to Georgia, Paweł Herczyński, due to his official meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Bochorishvili, - the chairman of the Parliament of Georgia writes about this on the social network.

As the Chairman of the Parliament points out, these harsh statements of the Baltic politicians finally make a veil over their true intentions towards Georgia and its government.

According to him, the submission of elections to the political agenda of foreigners and their arbitrary pressure would be the first sign of the end of democracy.

"Estonian and Lithuanian politicians, Michelson and Pavilions tried to discredit the EU ambassador to Georgia, Paweł Herczyński, because of his official meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Bochorishvili.

These rude statements of the Baltic politicians finally put a veil over their true intentions towards Georgia and its government. In November, they addressed the radical opposition in front of the parliament building, called for a change of government and denied the legitimacy of the parliamentary elections held in Georgia. It is not serious when such politicians appear as the faces of "regime change". It is true that their actions are neither important nor of any consequence, but in our region and more broadly, in Europe, they present the contours of a new dangerous trend.

These politicians tell us that elections don't matter. What matters is the political agenda of foreigners, not the people's choice, and if the will of the country's population does not coincide with the wishes of some foreigners, then, through pressure from abroad, the results of the elections must be overturned.

Although democracy is based on equality, good governance, popular legitimacy, rule of law and human rights and political freedoms, the main pillar of democracy is still elections. Abolishing elections, both literally and figuratively, and subordinating elections to foreign political agendas and arbitrary pressures would be the first sign of the end of democracy.

With polarized politics and the unbridled dominance of social media, no democratic country will be immune to threats from foreign pressure on its electoral system and electoral process. When real facts are obscured by a cloud of perceptions in the service of the narrow political agenda of foreign political groups and politicians, democracy and regional security suffer.

Unjustified pressure against the Georgian authorities may become one of the early signs of a process that will affect Europe as a whole. This problem should be solved before it acquires an undesirable tendency to spread," the Chairman of the Parliament wrote.
