Archil Gorduladze: The European Parliament has fired nine times with its baseless, attack-oriented resolutions, and missed every single time

"The European Parliament has fired nine times with its baseless, attack-oriented resolutions, and missed every single time," Archil Gorduladze, Chairman of the Parliament's Legal Issues Committee, stated while speaking to journalists and commenting on the upcoming European Parliament vote on a resolution regarding Georgia.

According to him, the objective remains the same as it has been for years: "to somehow force our political team and our supporters to change their minds through blackmail, and to turn our country into a proxy state."

"With its baseless and attack-oriented resolutions, the European Parliament has fired nine times and missed nine times. It has failed to trample upon the will of the Georgian people or violate our sovereignty; indeed, such resolutions reveal more about the European Parliament itself than they convey information about Georgia to the public. Now that they are once again demanding Mikheil Saakashvili’s release, it is interesting to consider their previous claims that he was suffering from two incurable diseases—what explanation will they offer now? Has Mikheil Saakashvili defeated those two incurable diseases?

We see that such resolutions are not even worth the paper they are printed on, for a simple reason: when only about 20 people out of a 720-seat parliament attend the debate on a resolution, yet an absolute majority subsequently votes in favor, it underscores that decisions in the European Parliament are not reached through a study of the issue or based on concrete evidence, but are driven solely by political agendas. The goal remains the same as it has been for years: to somehow, through blackmail, make our political team and our supporters change their minds and turn our country into a proxy state—something they will, of course, never achieve," stated Gorduladze.
