The German ambassador is not performing the function of a diplomat today, he is performing the function of an ordinary radical oppositionist, - said Guram Macharashvili, a member of the People's Power Party, while commenting on the statement of the German ambassador, Peter Fischer.
According to him, the German ambassador is directly attacking the Georgian state, the government elected by people and state institutions.
“Fisher’s statements are not critical. He directly attacks and insults the Georgian state, the government elected by people, state institutions. He goes beyond the diplomatic framework. He has long gone beyond the diplomatic framework when he criticizes the government, which is none of his business, interferes in politics, which is also not part of his functions.
I have a question for Mr. Fischer - how does Germany think who is the president of Georgia today?! Well, let him look at the website. As far as I know, Germany still has Zurabishvili on its website as president, and who does he have questions for?! For the current president, Kavelashvili, or Zurabishvili?! Mr. Ambassador, look at it, who do you have as president, that is, against whom do you have complaints?! If in your opinion, Zurabishvili is still the president today, then let’s direct your claims against Zurabishvili and if you admit that Kavelashvili is the president today, then why is Zurabishvili still on your website?! This is what happens to all those people, whether they are diplomats, politicians or non-politicians, who do not fulfill their functions and blatantly interfere in the affairs of another state.
It is a pity, but the German ambassador is not fulfilling the function of a diplomat today, he is fulfilling the function of an ordinary radical oppositionist. How can we continue now?! - said Macharashvili.
For information, the German ambassador, Peter Fischer, noted that representatives of the Georgian government have come to the conclusion that they do not want to join the European Union, however, they cannot tell this to the population. "This is my kind of conclusion about Georgia, after four years of working here: I think those in power in Georgia have come to the conclusion that they do not want to join the European Union, that it is not in their interest, but they cannot tell the population that. They are not being sincere and honest with their population, because the population still dreams of Europe, for very important reasons," the ambassador said in an interview with Radio Liberty.
