The head of Georgia's ruling party "Georgian Dream" Iraklii Kobakhidze said that the war in Ukraine was a consequence of the Maidan.
This is reported by "Echo of the Caucasus".
"What happened to the Maidan and what did it bring to Ukraine? They lost Crimea and most of Luhansk and Donetsk, the continuation of all this is the war that is going on in Ukraine today," said Kobakhidze.
According to him, this is the result of the processes that the radicals want in Georgia.
Kobakhidze commented on the words of the MEP Viola von Kramon. Last night she wrote during the dispersal of the action in Tbilisi that it reminded her of the Maidan in Ukraine in 2013-2014.
"As for the comparison with the Maidan, first of all, I will tell you that the Georgian Yanukovych is in prison, and his name is Mikheil Saakashvili... We will not act on the agenda of the radicals, on the agenda of Viola von Kramon, but accordingly to the interests of Georgian society," Kobakhidze said.
Kobakhidze also stated that "Georgian Dream" carries the truth "for the benefit of society", and the radical opposition misled everyone in connection with the discussion of draft laws on foreign influence in the parliament.
The leader of "Georgian Dream" called the statement that the adoption of the law on "foreign agents" will negatively affect the process of Georgia's acquisition of EU candidate status as speculation.
According to him, the ruling party, after the adoption of the bills in the first reading, will wait for the conclusion of the Venice Commission, which will take less than three months.
Kobakhidze said that all those who broke the law at the protest should be punished to the full extent of the law and announced a new slogan: "We will go forward with Christianity to Europe! We will go forward with sovereignty towards Europe! We will go forward with dignity towards Europe" .
At the same time, he called the "Rose Revolution" of 2003 in Georgia a "revolution of foreign agents", which brought nine anti-European years to the country.
As reported, on Tuesday, the Georgian parliament unexpectedly passed a law on "foreign agents" in the first reading, similar to Russian legislation aimed at limiting Western influence. This led to spontaneous protests and clashes outside the parliament, during which the police fired tear gas and then actively used water cannons to disperse the rally.
The night, which began with violent clashes between law enforcement officers and participants of a spontaneous rally under the Georgian parliament building, ended with the opposition's promises to move to daily protests "to victory".
