MEP Viola von Cramon stated at the debate on the issue of Georgia in the European Parliament that the Georgian government is doing everything to sabotage the country’s European future and noted that she believes that the Georgian people deserve EU membership.
The MEP claimed that the Georgian people are different from the Georgian government.
“Colleagues, all masks are off! The position of the Georgian government is clear, but the population will not accept this position. There is no way for the population of Georgia to go back to Russia. The Georgian people are very different from Georgian government. Everyone went out and made their voices heard in Brussels, Moscow, etc., not only in Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi. The opinion was expressed that “you cannot burn our European identity by burning the flag of the European Union: We are fighting for freedom”.
“An article in the Constitution of Georgia requires the Government of Georgia to ensure Georgia’s accession to the European Union.
“Those who are in the Parliament betrayed their people, they forced the people of Georgia to take to the streets. The population of Georgia deserves to become a member of the European Union, even though its government does not,” said Cramon.
