Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili says the European Union is avoiding genuine dialogue with Georgia, arguing that Brussels’ positions are based on “false narratives” that would collapse under scrutiny.
“There is no ‘Europe’ without respect for the truth and openness to criticism,” Papuashvili wrote on social media.
Speaker claimed that “it is no surprise that Brussels is avoiding dialogue, especially on issues where they may actually have to listen and respond. When your positions are built on disinformation, a single truthful word in a reasoned discussion is enough to expose the falsehoods.”
Papuashvili’s statement comes after Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Georgia–EU Human Rights Dialogue, scheduled for November 21, 2025, in Brussels, had been postponed by the EU. The ministry said the decision shows Brussels is “not prepared to listen to Georgia’s perspectives.”
