The summoning of Herczyński is another clear proof that this government always serves anti-Georgian goals and aspirations, Grigol Gegelia, Foreign Secretary of the Lelo-Strong Georgia, stated regarding the summoning of EU Ambassador Pawel Herczyński.

According to Gegelia, at a time when the ambassadors of Iran and Hungary have not been summoned by the Foreign Ministry, the summoning of representatives of Georgia’s strategic partners shows that the Georgian Dream government serves to harm the country’s strategic interests.

"At a time when the Iranian ambassador has not been summoned and has not been questioned about why he threatened the Georgian people with such language, at a time when the Hungarian ambassador has not been summoned and has not been asked about the Russian spy who worked in Georgia for 4 years, what we were dealing with, whether Hungary was informed and how we should perceive it, that under Hungarian diplomatic cover he was working in this city, most likely, a Russian spy, and in such a situation, Botchorishvili gives herself the right to attack all the ambassadors who are representatives of this country's strategic partner state. Whether it is because of the statement made at Ilia State University or because of elementary pro-democracy statements, she summons the ambassadors of those states that are the most important strategic partners of our country to resolve the case. This clearly proves that the so-called government is a hostile government of Georgia, which does everything to undermine the national interests of our country, to harm domestic and foreign political interests," Grigol Gegelia said.

The EU Ambassador to Georgia, who opened a documentary photo exhibition “Georgia in Focus” in Brussels at the European External Action Service, noted that Georgia is no longer on the right trajectory.

According to the ambassador, the government has chosen an alternative, authoritarian model and is distancing Georgia from the European Union.

“Georgia is at a crossroads. Georgia’s future has not yet been written, but what will be decided in the coming weeks and months will determine whether Georgia belongs to the family of European countries, based on democracy, the rule of law and human rights, or, unfortunately, returns to its dark past. My main message to the Georgian people is “do not lose hope”. We must not allow Georgia and the wonderful, warm, hospitable Georgian people to return to the dark times of violence, civil war, poverty, hardship, corruption. This is not the future they deserve.

As soon as the government expresses a desire to cooperate with us, we will do everything to help Georgia become a member of the European Union,” Herczyński was quoted as saying by Negtazeti.

Following this statement, the EU Ambassador has been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia.
