Shalva Papuashvili: In 2023, the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights said that Brussels, in the Melia case, slandered the Georgian state - in 2025, instead of an apology, we received a new slander from Brussels

In 2023, the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights said that Brussels, in the Melia case, slandered the Georgian state - in 2025, instead of an apology, we received a new slander from Brussels, - writes the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili.

As he notes, if Brussels had been committed to any values, it would have apologized to the Georgian people.

"In 2021, after the arrest of Nika Melia, Brussels attacked the rule of law and democracy in the same way.

In 2023, the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights said that Brussels, in the Melia case, slandered the Georgian state. If Brussels had been committed to any values, it would have apologized to the Georgian people.

In 2025, instead of an apology, we received a new slander from Brussels.

The justification and support of extremism contradicts democratic values,” Papuashvili says in his post.
