Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze launched a sharp criticism of German Ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer, suggesting that even expelling him would be “a gift.”
“Fischer is in a tragic situation, and even defending him is tragic. He is such a tragic figure that expelling him would be a gift. It is tragic – when you are Khazaradze’s tenant, I don’t know what could be a greater tragedy,” Kobakhidze told journalists.
The remarks follow Fischer’s recent statement on the social platform X, where he relayed the concerns of German Minister of State for European Affairs, Günter Krichbaum.
“I had a good conversation with the German Minister of State for European Affairs. He expressed deep concern about Georgia’s direction,” Fischer wrote, adding that Krichbaum conveyed the German government’s full support for him as ambassador.
Fischer also reiterated that Germany “rejects political violence” and stressed that any claims to the contrary are “wrong and untrue.”
