The “Deep State” is using EU funding to encourage revolutionary processes in Georgia – therefore, no one is surprised that trust in the European Union has decreased- PM

Everyone sees that the “Deep State” is using EU funding to encourage revolutionary processes in Georgia - the good thing is that these processes naturally have no prospects, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

According to Kobakhidze, the sad reality is that NGOs funded by EU funds are organizing a rally of 2,000 people and demanding the overthrow of the government.

“Everyone sees that the “Deep State” is using EU funding to encourage revolutionary processes in Georgia. The good thing is that these processes naturally have no prospects. The fact that NGOs funded by EU funds are organizing a rally of 2,000 people, demanding the overthrow of the government, etc., creates a very sad reality. Of course, such actions, such facts, have a very serious impact not only on the image of the European bureaucracy, but also on the image of the European Union as a whole in our country. Therefore, no one is surprised that trust in the European Union has decreased from 80% - to about 50%, a little more trust today. Why? Because the European bureaucracy, which is run by the “Deep State”, is absolutely destroying the trust of the Georgian society towards European structures”, - Kobakhidze noted.

According to Kobakhidze, it does not happen anywhere in the world that 150, sometimes 100, 50 people block the central avenue of the capital and this needs to be confronted with fines.

“Yesterday, 2,000 Georgians came out, which is, in conditions of full mobilization, a complete fiasco. There were no more, I tell you with full responsibility. No matter how sad you may be, yesterday at the peak, 2,000 Georgians came out. As for fines, sanctions, it does not happen anywhere in the world that 150, sometimes 100, 50 people block the central avenue of the capital. This is an absolutely unprecedented event. This needs to be confronted with fines. On the other side are the interests of the society. The society wants to walk peacefully on Rustaveli Avenue, even for the half hour when the street is closed. This, of course, requires fines, appropriate measures, and everyone must get used to this," Kobakhidze said
