Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Thursday denounced foreign politicians joining “radical anti-Government rallies” against the domestic law on transparency of foreign influence in the capital city of Tbilisi as “unfriendly acts against Georgian people”.
Papuashvili’s comments followed visiting foreign ministers from Latvia, Estonia, Iceland and Lithuania joining a protest rally against the law on Rustaveli Avenue on Wednesday.
In his social media message, Papuashvili noted the development was “not just an unfriendly act against Georgian people, but also a symptom that the Russian Government had imparted some of its worldview to its staunchest opponents, especially in the Baltics”.
Addressing a rally of exalted youth led by radical opposition parties against the Government, and calling them the ‘whole nation’ is something that you would expect from a Soviet or Russian propagandist, not a foreign minister of an EU member state. And helping to topple a democratically elected government just because you do not like their legislation is out of the Soviet handbook”, he said.
