Fence-sitting of Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz harms both the EU and the Georgian people, writes the MEP Miriam Lexmann on the social network X.

“I’m sorry Bundeskanzler and Emmanuel Macron, but your fence-sitting harms both the EU and the Georgian people. We cannot afford to be lethargic when GD is undermining democracy and Georgian people’s European aspirations!”, - adds Miriam Lexmann.

Her remarks come a day after France and Germany expressed deep concern about the situation in Georgia. “Both our countries have always supported Georgia"s European path. It has been charted – but speed and direction of moving forward depend on Georgia”, Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz said in a joint statement.
