“We promised the people who consider Europe their home that we would not close the door on them, and this promise includes the Georgian people, who today continue to take to the streets with EU flags. We must not abandon them,” said European Parliament President Roberta Metsola to journalists in Brussels before the start of the European Council meeting.
When asked by a Georgian journalist whether the summit’s post-declaration would contain strong wording, Metsola responded: “You can expect strong wording from the European Parliament. You have seen our resolution regarding the elections, expressing our concerns about their results and how they were conducted.”
“Our message to Georgia is to stay on the European path. I have attended European Council meetings for years, and one theme consistently dominates: we promised the people who consider Europe their home that we would not close the door on them. This includes the Georgian people, who continue to take to the streets with EU flags. We must not abandon them. This is our clear and unwavering stance, and we will maintain it into 2025,” Metsola emphasized.
