Gia Volski on the OSCE Secretary General’s visit: There are expectations that the “deep state,” now from Brussels, will again support the opposition - The arrival of such a high-level official is one resource to put an end to it – Such visits throw the opposition into hysteria

“Up to this point, there have already been several serious meetings with representatives of the Georgian Dream government – this practically throws the opposition into a state of hysteria,” – said the First Vice Speaker of the Parliament, Gia Volski, responding to a question regarding the visit of OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioğlu to Georgia.

According to Volski, the issue of destabilization in Georgia is still on the agenda.

He notes that while the resources may be limited, there remains an expectation that the opposition will once again receive support from the “deep state,” this time from Brussels.

“First of all, we must say that the elections were not rigged – and could not have been. Electronic elections cannot be falsified, and they haven’t presented a single valid argument, apart from the same old claims that voters were bribed with potatoes and onions, or intimidated into thinking something bad would happen if they didn’t choose number 41 [Georgian Dream's ballot number]. There are even absurd claims that Georgian Dream representatives convinced people that their vote could be traced, which is practically impossible due to the lack of any such mechanism or resources.

[Regarding the OSCE Secretary General’s visit] – there have already been serious meetings and dialogues with Georgian Dream government officials. This drives the opposition into hysteria. That’s unfortunate, because on the one hand, these people—so-called political actors and political groups—are completely disconnected from reality. And on the other hand, it’s troubling because the topic of destabilization in Georgia is still on the table. While the opposition’s resources are limited, there’s still a lingering expectation that the ‘deep state,’ now operating from Brussels, will continue to support them. This is a very bad sign for a small country. It creates a serious problem, but something must put an end to this. The arrival of such a high-ranking official in Georgia is one of the significant resources that can help put a final stop to it,” – Volski stated.
