I would advise opposition politicians to start a campaign and explain to the people what will happen, - former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said at the press conference during his visit to Tbilisi.

According to him, the opposition should clearly explain the concept of Europe and freedom not only to those who live in Tbilisi and big cities or listen to the news, but also to everyone who thinks about the future of their children.

The European politician named Belarus as an example and said that Lukashenko sold the country to Russia in order to survive, and now there is nothing there but “economic trauma”.

“I have an idea of ​​the way forward and I would advise opposition politicians to start a campaign and to start explaining to the people very directly what is going to happen. It is a very difficult task…

For some people it is about freedom, for some people it is about the West and for some people it is about money. For us it was easier because either you have money in Europe or you are poor without Europe…

Now it is more difficult because if you say that if you join, Europe will bring 10 billion euros, they will say: “Is it actually about money? We don’t know, maybe we have our own, maybe we can borrow from China.” It’s a different world. This means that you have to explain that this is a long-term process in which you or your children will lose.

Look at what Belarus looks like. This is a country without freedom, this is a country that was sold to the Russians. Lukashenko sold the country to survive, and look at what it looks like now - there is nothing left there except economic trauma.

I’m not a Georgian politician, I don’t know what terms you use, how you speak, but this needs to be explained to people. Not only to people living in Tbilisi, in big cities, who go to protests, who read the news, who understand the concept of freedom and unfreedom, but also to people who may think about the future of their children that “they are playing with this, they stole this - not just one election, but the future”.

I suggest, I advise you - don’t wait for new elections. Who knows, maybe it will also be stolen. And if you don't have an explanation, message, well, who knows what people will choose," Landsbergis said.
