Sanctions are the West's most powerful pressure tool to influence anti-democratic, anti-European, anti-Georgian processes - Papuashvili is already making comical statements of a dictator. We remember his statements that he does not feel the discomfort caused by sanctions, although today they seem like cannons to him, - Tina Bokuchava, the chairwoman of the Unity - National Movement, stated on PalitraNews, while talking about sanctions, including the ban imposed by Poland on 8 representatives of Georgian law enforcement agencies.
In her opinion, "Bidzina Ivanishvili has a paranoid fear of sanctions".
“We know that financial sanctions are facing some resistance from the EU, Orbán is using his veto right, but they can use this prerogative within the framework of national powers. Sanctions are important from Poland. We remember the statements from the Georgian Dream that sanctions are not working, but their rhetoric has changed.
Papuashvili is already making comical statements of a dictator, of course, he is not a dictator, he is a pawn and an insignificant servant of Bidzina Ivanishvili. We remember their statements that the sanctions have no effect, that they do not feel the discomfort caused by the sanctions, but today they seem like cannons to them.
These people have a lot of money. Bidzina Ivanishvili has a paranoid fear of sanctions, as does his entourage, and they have accumulated this money through a lot of budgetary corruption,” said Tina Bokuchava.
Tina Bokuchava also responded to the information about the possible cancellation of visa liberalization by the European Union. According to her, this privilege depends on specific values and norms, which are violated daily by the Georgian Dream.
“This privilege depends on specific values and norms, but these values are violated and trampled on daily by Ivanishvili’s “Russian Dream”. This is an important achievement that we have achieved as a result of the Rose Revolution and the reforms that followed it. Therefore, we must force the government and not put up with the suspension of visa liberalization, so that we will have to stand in line for 6 months to travel to Europe. In 2010-2011, negotiations were underway with the US to have visa-free travel, then Georgian diplomacy worked for national interests,” said Tina Bokuchava.
She also spoke about the investigative commission created in the parliament, and also assessed Giorgi Gakharia’s visit to the commission session. According to him, Gakharia is not willing to stand by her, although he entered into a 6-hour discussion with Tea Tsulukiani.
As for the investigation commission's study of the issue related to the August war, she said that representatives of the Georgian Dream are trying to rewrite the history of Georgia according to the Russian version.
As for the local elections, according to Tina Bokuchava, participating in elections where “the one who counts wins” is illogical.
"There are differences of opinion on this issue. It is unacceptable to participate in elections where whoever counts always wins, similar elections are also held in Russia, where Vladimir Putin wins, so let's not organize such a farce and not participate in it. Participating in the local elections means that you also recognize the legitimacy of the parliamentary elections.
Ivanishvili should dismiss the entire government and clear the political field, and then we can talk about elections. There is no logic in participating in elections that Bidzina Ivanishvili will count and write," Tina Bokuchava said.
