Report of European Parliament on Georgia - Opposition advises the government to take into consideration the remarks , while the ruling team links the criticism to the influence of opponents


Tbilisi responded to the report prepared by the European Parliament on Georgia, which includes 229 amendments,. The European Parliament speaks about the high risks of political corruption and governmental pressure on free media.

The ruling party does not share the comments in the document and says that the members of the National Movement and the European Georgia have influenced the European Parliament.

The National Movement, the New National Movement- the "European Georgia" is trying to establish the formulation in the European Parliament, which is not only untrue, but I think is immoral in this case, "said Gia Volsky.

The assessments are different in the opposition. "National Movement" reminds the government of recent developments. Among them are uninvestigated cases, high court officials" influence on the court and the prosecutor"s office.

"This criticism is not directed against Georgia, but it is just to criticize the pressure on the Georgian government to deal with this process," said UNM member Gia Baramidze.

229 amendments were made in the report, including 6 on Rustavi 2 Broadcasting Company. Members of the European Parliament believe that there are problems in Georgia that will be documented in the report and the country that wants to join the EU in the future should find a solution. The depoliticization of state institutions, the enormous influence of one man, the court that has no trust and desire of the government to control the media remain a problem.
