Shalva Papuashvili: It is alarming that, through the actions or inaction of Brussels and the EU Embassy, ​​Brussels is increasingly identifying itself with hatred and violence

Our society has already understood that when those from Brussels address people, they mean a marginal group of radical opposition and NGOs who spread hatred and violence in the name of Europe, often with European funding, - Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, wrote on the social media.

As he notes, it is alarming that, through the actions or inaction of Brussels and the EU Embassy, ​​Brussels is increasingly identifying itself with hatred and violence.

“Yesterday, one of the EU Commissioners addressed the “Georgian people” with the words: “Be strong, fight for European values, we are counting on you.”

Our society has already understood that when those from Brussels address people, they mean a marginal group of radical opposition and NGOs who, often with European funding, spread hatred and violence in the name of Europe, thereby establishing contempt and terror as “European values.”

This was confirmed within a few hours of this address. First, one of the leaders of the Gvaramia party, who was pardoned at the request of Brussels, Gedevan Popkhadze, announced that there would be victims on May 26, and then one of the leaders of the Brussels-funded Droa, Mariam Sichinava, attacked a member of parliament with extremely obscene language and threats, even for the Georgian audience.

It is alarming that, through the actions or inaction of Brussels and the EU embassy, ​​Brussels is increasingly identifying itself with hatred and violence.

The EU was created as a peace project. The behavior of some European politicians and bureaucrats is taking it away from this fundamental value.

It is important for Brussels to clarify whether it includes the hate campaign and terror carried out by its funded entities in the “European value” and whether it intends to stop supporting violent groups.

P.S. To avoid speculation, I would like to say here that this is not an “attack”, but “legitimate criticism” that needs a response,” Papuashvili wrote.
