Who knows, maybe Kordzaia is no longer attracted to the role of the sect's main hymnographer, but the sect does not give up its hymnographer - it is difficult to escape from its clutches, especially when "Europe" itself is backing you, - Shalva Papuashvili, the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, writes about this on social networks.

According to him, "a pseudo-religion requires a hymnographer, and Aleksandre Kordzaia eagerly stepped into this role within the sect."

Furthermore, Papuashvili stated that "the EU must realize that the next person to hurl abuse listens to the justification of profanity, and the next perpetrator of violence listens to the justification of violence."

The Parliament Speaker writes that "both words and silence carry political consequences and a price."

“Last week, news emerged that an EU-funded concert was being organized for the very musician who, due to their political choices, had directed "mother-fucking" insults at over a million Georgian citizens—men and women, young and old alike. The event was to be hosted by the Gori Art House, an entity that labels these same people "slaves."

This sparked public outrage. While a segment of the "sect" criticized this indignation, expressions of regret also surfaced—acknowledging that "mother-fucking" insults should not be a form of protest or self-expression, and admitting that hearing such profanity in their own circles had never really sat well with them either.

True, they did not express this regret earlier, but even belated remorse is a step forward. If we have finally reached the point of acknowledging that such profanity is unacceptable and that political protest must have its limits, this realization could have led to further positive developments. The solution was simple and dignified: Kordzaia should have apologized to the public. He could have simply said that emotions got the better of him and that, in the heat of political protest, he had crossed the line of human decency. After all, the process of catharsis—unusual for this sect—seemed to be heading in that very direction.

But just then, the EU Delegation issued a statement effectively declaring that, for the majority of society, using profanity involving someone's mother constitutes freedom of creative expression (!).

The EU Delegation’s statement served to embolden the person who had delivered the insult, steering the sect—which had been on the verge of catharsis—away from the path of truth once again. Instead of taking a step toward an apology, the offender received political encouragement.

Remorse, responsibility, and respect for human dignity—everything Georgian culture teaches us—were supplanted by a stubborn refusal to abandon a flawed position, by dehumanization, and by aggression. It was confirmed once again that this is not a Georgian movement, but rather a campaign imported, coached, and incited from the outside. We see the consequences of external incitement in Saakashvili’s video from yesterday, in which the imprisoned dictator hurls insults and threats at the very public whose abuse had previously been characterized by the EU delegation as an act of creative freedom of expression.

This is how unrebuked violence transforms into an emulated political symbol.

We witnessed this previously in the cases of Mzia Amaghlobeli and Zviad Ratiani; the failure to condemn—and the political justification of—Amaghlobeli’s assault on a police officer created an environment conducive to subsequent violence against law enforcement.

Defending human rights does not require justifying the behavior in question. One can dispute the severity of a punishment while simultaneously condemning violence against a police officer. One can defend freedom of expression while simultaneously condemning the verbal abuse of citizens. This is precisely the consistency we expect from the EU.

The next person inclined to use profanity takes note when such language is justified, just as the next potential perpetrator takes note when violence is condoned. Both words and silence carry political consequences and a price. The EU needs to recognize this.

P.S. As I described earlier, a sect requires dogmas, priests, saints and martyrs, as well as its own calendar and rituals. A pseudo-religion also needs a hymnographer, and within the sect, Aleksandre Kordzaia eagerly stepped into that role.

Getting in proved easy, but getting out is far more difficult.

Who knows—perhaps the role of the sect’s chief hymnographer is no longer attractive for Kordzaia, yet the sect is unwilling to part with its hymnographer. Escaping its clutches is hard—especially when "Europe" itself backs you," writes Papuashvili.
