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
Shalva Papuashvili - We are not attacking anyone; we have maintained peace for 14 years, and our criticism is always a response to attacks - as for relations with the US, they are on a path of "resetting," and we are satisfied with the dynamics
Shalva Papuashvili: There was pressure claiming that Saakashvili was dying, but we saw that not only did nothing happen to him, he even had a child; now Eka Gigauri has been tasked with securing the release of the dictator - She is a pawn in all of this, so it is important to establish who is financing her
Shalva Papuashvili: One of the singers had a concert canceled, and we saw people begin encouraging this individual, who is the author of fascist chants; these reactions further reinforce my view and confirm that we are indeed dealing with a sect
Shalva Papuashvili: Lelo, a member of ALDE, first declared a terrorist to be one of its colleagues, and now it has launched a xenophobic campaign - One compromise on values is followed by another; let’s see whether ALDE will remain true to its values this time as well and distance itself from xenophobia
Shalva Papuashvili: Before I return from Brussels, which is sacred and eternal to the sect, I am reading the reactions. In their view, the moment you enter the “holy city,” your voice, tone, and behavior should change - how could you go there and not speak with your head bowed?
Shalva Papuashvili: The revolutionary propaganda front has been defeated - this protest group has turned into a pseudo-religious sect with its own symbols, rituals, leaders, victims and martyrs
Levan Machavariani: We saw numerous satanic rituals at the protests, and fortune-tellers were brought in - external forces are using emotionally distressed people
Shalva Papuashvili: I believe the time has come for the EU to reconsider its decision to unilaterally suspend the integration process - confrontation cannot be the right path
Zviad Shalamberidze: The protest is continuing out of inertia, which the Parliament Speaker correctly described as a “sect” — a decision should be made, as there is no point in continuing such a protest
Shalva Papuashvili: According to the opposition’s count, today is the 666th day of the “protest” - the group of political protest activists has transformed into a pseudo-religious movement
Archil Gorduladze: Let the EU itself find a way out of the current impasse in relations and reconsider its decisions! The EU needs Georgia just as much as Georgia needs the EU
Shalva Papuashvili leaves for Luxembourg to pay official visit
Shalva Papuashvili: It is important for Brussels to return to the path of dialogue - we have always expressed our readiness
Shalva Papuashvili on Irakli Gharibashvili’s case: There was no prospect of turning it into a political matter within the Georgian justice system before, and there is none now
