Shalva Papuashvili: On 4 October there was only one violent side: the Brussels-backed radicals. Condemning them would have meant condemning themselves - That is the real reason they stayed silent
“There was no such thing as ‘everyone’ who should have refrained from violence on October 4th. There was only one violent side — the radicals supported by Brussels,” writes the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, in response to the statement made by the EU Ambassador to Georgia, Pawel Herczynski.
“The EU Ambassador’s deliberate refusal to unequivocally condemn the violent assault on the President’s Palace is the clearest illustration of Brussels’ moral regression and anti-democratic trajectory.
There was no such thing as ‘everyone’ who should have refrained from violence on October 4th. There was only one violent side — the radicals supported by Brussels. Condemning them would mean condemning themselves. That is the real reason behind their silence,” Papuashvili writes.
