Papuashvili: Is It Surprising the Opposition Should Be Held Accountable?

The Russian law of the Georgian Dream party threatens independent media and civil society organizations and hinders Georgia from joining the European Union.

Russian law establishes Putin's rules in Georgia, which has eliminated free speech in Russia.

When you are oppressed, there will be no one to cover your problem and stand by you.

Georgian News will resist the Russian intention of the Georgian Dream to the end!

At a briefing held at the the ruling Georgian Dream office, the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, stated that as the elections approach, members of the opposition will need to speak with the people, and it will not be surprising if citizens "demand an answer" from them.

"Should it be surprising that the Kakhetians demand an answer from the opposition for cursing wine?

Should it be surprising that the Adjarians demand an answer from the opposition for throwing eggs to tourists? Should it be surprising that Georgians who have family members in Russia demand an answer from the opposition for picketing the airport?

Finally, no matter which city, village, or district they go to, is it surprising that they will be asked to answer for sacrificing people for war, destruction, and death?” Papuashvili said.

The Chairman of the Parliament says that the opposition saw that 'the people support the prudent policy of the government”.

“That is why everyone who pushed us into war talks about peace, and everyone who planned to put Georgian peasants and entrepreneurs on the path to bankruptcy today talks about trade with Russia. If the opposition is able to seize even one gram of power, Georgia will return to the chaos of wars and destruction. As soon as we freed this country, we created a 12-year period of continuous peace and gave the people the opportunity to breathe and develop,” said Shalva Papuashvili.

The members of the opposition evaluated the statements of the Chairman of the Parliament as misinformation and a call to confrontation.
