Shalva Papuashvili: ALDE - a European alliance led by figures such as Kaja Kallas and Marta Kos - is standing alongside fraudsters; I await a response from ALDE

ALDE, a European alliance, is standing alongside fraudsters. Its leaders include Kaja Kallas, Marta Kos, and other European figures; they are backing these fraudsters, - Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili said.

As he noted, "If there is no appropriate response, the Georgian people will form an opinion about ALDE similar to the one they hold regarding terrorists and xenophobes."

"As for the so-called 'Arabization' slogan, it is a complete lie. We have seen that sales have begun and Georgians, too, are purchasing apartments. Therefore, this is utter nonsense.

The sole reason for the founding of Lelo was for the fraudster Khazaradze to extract one and a half million from the Georgian budget through a bogus lawsuit—a case he lost both domestically and in international arbitration. That is why neither terrorism nor xenophobia on the part of this fraudulent party comes as a surprise to us.

The fact is that ALDE—a European alliance—stands alongside these fraudsters. Its leaders include Kaja Kallas, Marta Kos, and other European figures; they are the ones backing these fraudsters. They have supported individuals recognized as fraudsters and terrorists. Now, one has to ask: how far will they go? Will they endorse xenophobia, too?

I expect a response from ALDE—or for ALDE to distance itself from the xenophobia they have pledged to fight. After all, they call themselves a liberal party, yet their ranks contain the most illiberal elements.

If there is no appropriate response, the Georgian people will form an opinion of ALDE similar to the one they hold regarding terrorists and xenophobes," Papuashvili stated.
