Georgian Dream MP Irakli Zarkua has called on his government to kick out ambassadors who side with opposition parties, “who are being destructive, replacing radicals and acting against the state.” Such officials need to be removed from the country, he told parliamentary correspondents on Tuesday, July 2nd.
Singled out for particular criticism is German ambassador Peter Fischer and Britain’s Gareth Ward—who demonstrates that the UK “still has a colonial attitude toward small states,” according to Zarkua. His claims were backed up by a party colleague, Secretary General and Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, who asserted that Georgia is not fighting the European Union, the UK, or the U.S., but instead is merely “defending itself from injustice.”
Faced with outright hostility from Brussels, the Georgian government formally froze its own EU accession efforts. Late last year friendly, pro-sovereigntist states Hungary and Slovakia used their vetos to block sanctions against Georgia.
Such aggression is led by a Brussels elite which seems angered by Georgian voters who had the temerity to both elect the ‘wrong’ government and oppose being dragged into another war with Russia.
