Ruling Georgian Dream party MP criticises ALDE resolution, says Georgia no longer governed by “meaningless” resolutions

Tornike Paghava, Deputy Chair of the Georgian Parliament’s Committee on European Integration, on Sunday criticised a resolution on Georgia adopted by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), describing it as “laughable” and saying the political grouping’s anti-Georgian interests were becoming increasingly evident.

“ALDE is a political grouping that expressed support for Aleko Elisashvili, who committed a terrorist act. This clearly demonstrates its political interests against the Georgian state. However, Georgian society has already turned the page and can clearly see its political intentions. Ultimately, resolutions of this kind are laughable,” Paghava said.

The ruling Georgian Dream party also responded to ALDE’s latest resolution, stating that Georgia was no longer governed by “meaningless and unfounded resolutions”.

The resolution calls for the monitoring of court proceedings in Georgia and urges the European Union and other countries to make the release of convicted individuals a precondition for relations with Georgia.
