Shalva Papuashvili: We see that some NGOs and political groups are directly announcing provocations and violence - if any NGO gets involved in violence once again, it will be directly the fault of the donor who has not spoken out so far

I am watching to see how many working meetings the diplomats will have, especially now, after the opposition and NGOs announced violence on May 26 - we see that some NGOs and political groups are directly announcing provocations and violence. If any NGO gets involved in violence again, it will be the direct fault of the donor who has not spoken up so far, - said the Speaker of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, responding to the information spread in the media that the 5th President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, is at the US Embassy, ​​while the opposition is meeting with the EU Ambassador.

As Papuashvili notes, the opposition is directly talking about victims and radicalization.

"I don't know who is meeting with whom, but I'm watching to see how many working meetings the diplomats will have, especially now, after the opposition and NGOs announced the violence on May 26. The opposition is talking directly about the victims and radicalization. The experience we have, unfortunately, does not make us think anything good about them. The unequivocal position of some ambassadors is interesting. We saw how on April 9, violent groups from parties and NGOs tried to radicalize, used violence, including against the participants of April 9, and did not let them near the memorial. The funding ambassadors watched all this, they did not speak out. More than a month has passed and we have not seen a single condemnation from donors when the NGOs they funded committed an act of violence near the memorial on April 9. Even now we see that some NGOs and political groups are directly announcing provocations and violence. If any NGO gets involved in violence once again, it will be the direct fault of the donor who has not spoken out so far. Either donors and embassies will distance themselves from violence, terror, hatred, or all this will be on them," Papuashvili noted.
