It is inconceivable that Georgia should be accused of something it did not commit, it is inconceivable that our country should be sanctioned because of the accused case. Such a statement made today Mamuka Mdinaradze, Chairman of the Georgian Dream’s faction, while responding to the comment of Josep Borell, EU’s Highest Representative in the Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

“The European Union wrongly accused Georgia and its Government of something, then sanctions may become a common story. The problem lies in the blame and not in the sanctions. I hope that the representatives of the EU’s top bureaucracy, like the Nazis treated their citizens, will not treat Georgia like that. Innocent people were accused and punished.

If the same thing happens again today, but on a larger scale, that is, if the EU bureaucracy wrongly accuses Georgia and its government of something - the Russianness of this law, the decline of democracy due to this law - then sanctions may become commonplace.

But the problem is in the blame, not in the sanctions. It is impossible for high-ranking officials in the EU not to know that what is Canadian in Canada cannot be Russian in Georgia, what is French in France cannot be Russian in Georgia, what has been American in US for decades cannot be Russian in Georgia.

It is impossible to blame Georgia for what it did not commit, therefore, I do not expect sanctions.

It is inconceivable that Georgia should be blamed for something it didn’t commit, it is inconceivable that our country should be sanctioned because of the accused case. For a while they talked about visa liberalization, but then they realized that this story didn’t fit in PR, yesterday they said that the candidate status was granted to the people, now it was no longer possible to punish the people and now we should punish the high-ranking officials, therefore if you accuse, then you will be punished”, - said Mamuka Mdinaradze.
