According to Gvaramia, the letter addressed by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze to European leaders may look absurd, but it carries dangerous political signals.

“Obviously, any reasonable person would consider Kobakhidze’s open letter laughable madness, but unfortunately, the madness is only in form; the content is a very serious threat: Georgia is being left outside Europe,” Gvaramia wrote.

He added that the letter sent to the heads of European institutions - Ursula von der Leyen, António Costa, and Roberta Metsola - effectively signals that there will be no dialogue between Georgia’s government and the European Union.

Gvaramia argued that the letter is also intended for domestic political consumption, aiming to prepare the public for another political setback and to reinforce narratives that justify distancing from Europe.

He criticized what he described as attempts to frame Western institutions as morally declining while portraying Georgia as a defender of “true European values,” including references to topics such as gender identity, migration, and historical memory.

He also commented on comparisons between violence in Europe and in Georgia, suggesting that such parallels are used to justify domestic repression.

Referring to Denmark, Gvaramia noted that the Georgian Prime Minister’s statements come despite previous participation in European political forums in Copenhagen, and said that Danish officials have already clarified their critical stance on Georgia’s democratic situation and EU integration path.

In conclusion, Gvaramia reiterated that while Kobakhidze’s letter may appear absurd, its underlying message is dangerous, as it signals that Georgia risks remaining outside Europe.
