Levan Machavariani: We are witnessing unprecedented levels of police violence during the protests in France, yet Euro-bureaucrats—who labeled the attempt to set a police officer on fire here as a "peaceful protest"—have not even commented on it
"When our team exposes Euro-bureaucrats for double standards and the dissemination of lies and disinformation, it is always based on concrete facts and arguments," Levan Machavariani, First Deputy Chair of the Georgian Dream parliamentary faction, writes on social media.
Machavariani shares footage of the ongoing protests in France and notes that whenever the ruling team exposes Euro-bureaucrats for double standards and dishonesty, it is always grounded in concrete facts. According to him, Euro-bureaucrats characterized the events of November–December 2024 and the repelling of the attack on the state on October 4, 2025, as systemic violence, while labeling the protests peaceful; "yet against this backdrop, they have not made a single comment regarding the violence perpetrated by law enforcement in France—violence often directed against women and children."
"When our team exposes Euro-bureaucrats for double standards and the dissemination of lies and disinformation, it is always based on concrete facts and arguments.
During the Brussels-funded violent demonstrations of November and December 2024—which aimed to overthrow the government—we witnessed only isolated instances of excessive force by individual members of the special forces. Although around a thousand trained individuals were committing acts of violence against the special forces, only a few officers exceeded their authority. The state responded to these incidents, and the perpetrators were punished in accordance with the law.
When the revolution scenario—officially encouraged by Brussels—was unfolding on October 4, we saw hundreds of violent demonstrators storming the Presidential Palace. In that instance, our law enforcement officers thwarted the assault on the state with surgical precision, ensuring that not a single person suffered even the slightest injury.
Despite all this, Euro-bureaucrats [ignore] the violence, the burning of the police and parliament buildings. They portrayed the attempt to storm the Presidential Palace as a peaceful protest, yet they try to label the response to repel that assault as "systemic violence."
For about two weeks, protests demanding better educational conditions have been underway in France. The information space is flooded with videos showing unprecedented levels of police violence—violence often directed against women and children.
Throughout this time, not a single comment has been made by those Euro-bureaucrats who—in our case—labeled an attempt to burn a police officer alive as a "peaceful protest." Nor have the Members of the European Parliament—who characterized the security forces' repulsion of an attack on the state as "systemic violence"—issued even the briefest statement. In effect, they have subjected our government to political persecution for preventing violent revolutions in Georgia.
Most tragic of all is that, alongside this "criminal" silence, these Euro-bureaucrats are—in yet another (their ninth) resolution—referring to criminal Saakashvili as a political prisoner.
As the current US administration notes in its National Security Strategy document—'Brussels is driving the European Union toward a civilizational abyss”, - Levan Machavariani writes on social media.
