At this moment, I am beginning meetings in Strasbourg – we will ensure your message reaches representatives of every country, and we will discuss the grave situation in Georgia, said Giorgi Vashadze, leader of "Strategy Aghmashenebeli," in Strasbourg.
According to him, the focus of the discussions will be the only solution: "the immediate release of political prisoners and the swift scheduling of new elections."
"I am starting meetings in Strasbourg at this very moment with representatives of national parliaments across Europe. We will present a report to the ALDE faction, where we will discuss the dire situation in Georgia, the rigged elections, the imprisonment of individuals on political grounds, beatings, and inhumane treatment perpetrated by the self-proclaimed regime of 'Georgian Dream.'
Most importantly, we will talk about the only solution: the immediate release of political prisoners and the scheduling of new elections as quickly as possible. This is the only way to stabilize the severe and collapsing crisis to which Ivanishvili and 'Georgian Dream' have brought the country, and for Georgia to continue its democratic progress toward Europe.
These are very important days. We will undoubtedly bring your message to representatives of every country," Vashadze stated.
For context, according to "Strategy Aghmashenebeli," leaders of the Georgian opposition have been invited to Strasbourg for the Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) at the special invitation of its leadership. Opposition party leaders are also scheduled to hold meetings with delegations from various countries.
