Kakha Kaladze: If you ask me, the EU ambassador should be expelled from the country - if it were up to me, of course I would expel him

If you ask me, the EU ambassador should be expelled from the country, that is my attitude and vision. If it were up to me, of course I would expel him, - Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze told reporters.

As he noted, whatever misfortune is happening in the country comes from Western bureaucracy.

In addition, as Kaladze noted when assessing the statements made by the EU Ambassador to Georgia a few days ago, where the ambassador said that stopping repression, releasing those unjustly detained, repealing repressive legislation and open dialogue were the only ways to resolve the crisis and return to the EU path, “the biggest misfortune is what we hear from the EU ambassador and what we heard during the election process.”

"I don't know when he made this statement. If you ask me, the EU ambassador should be expelled from the country if he makes this type of statement when we have specific criminals... This is, of course, a continuation of the policy that we see in relation to Georgia. Personally, I have nothing against the EU ambassador, he is a normal person, but he is using his status, doing harm. Obviously, he is fulfilling his assignment. He voices what he is told. This is a given. The propaganda and narrative that you have, as if these rallies were peaceful rallies, as if my teammates and I threw those "Molotov cocktails", as if Manana Tokmajishvili threw batons and stones at the special forces and police, and as if that those people had nothing to do with it at all...

If someone wants a change of government, it cannot and will not happen through coups and revolutions. There are elections, there is a civilized form, and you should come in this form, express your opinion, as an ordinary citizen. The change of government should take place through elections. The EU bureaucracy did not like the results of October 26. They were defeated and are using all the ways and methods to somehow bring about a coup d'état, confrontation, polarization, etc. in the country. Whatever misfortune is happening in the country, everything comes from the Western bureaucracy. With their financing, their support, their financial capabilities. Russia is a separate problem. The fact is that Russia has invaded Georgia and has occupied 20% of our country's territories. Some people from the outside are supposedly busy with their own good deeds and in reality they want to use our country and people to pursue their interests, they are covering this up as democratic processes.

As for the EU ambassador again, this is my attitude and my vision, and if it were up to me, of course, I would expel him. First of all, they should respect Georgian statehood and the EU ambassador and the ambassador of any country have no right to interfere in the country's internal political processes, to promote public confrontation and polarization. I have nothing against the ambassador as a person, but he has a status, he is a representative of the EU and an official in the country. He should be kind and refrain from such statements, which are saturated with lies, incite extremism, evil and all the misfortunes that are happening in the country," Kakha Kaladze said.

For information, the EU Ambassador to Georgia told InterpressNews on July 18 that stopping repression, releasing those unjustly detained, repealing repressive legislation and ensuring open dialogue are the only way to resolve the current crisis and return Georgia to the path of the European Union.
