Ever since independence, constant wars seem to have become our destiny... the last 12 years have shown us that it’s not about destiny, it’s about who controls your destiny - Papuashvili

The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament underlined the significance of the upcoming October 26 elections during a speech at a campaign event in Batumi.

“October 26 is the decisive moment when good should overcome evil, peace should overcome war, patriotism should overcome vassalage, and common sense should overcome LGBT propaganda.

The opposition is attempting to wrest control from the Georgian people. Will the externally managed opposition be able to wrest the Georgian people’s power to decide their fate from their hands and put them at the service of others’ interests?

Ever since independence, constant wars and destruction seem to have become our destiny... However, the last 12 years have shown us that it"s not about destiny, itэs about who controls your destiny.

The Georgian Dream Government is maintaining 12 years of peace, which not just a coincidence or the mercy of fate, but the result of the Georgian people taking control of our destiny into our own hands.

Papuashvili contrasted this with the policies of the previous government and today"s opposition, suggesting that following their lead would result in sanctions against Russia and economic collapse: “If Georgia had followed the opposition’s advice, the country would face an economic disaster similar to that of the early 1990s. Many families would be left without income, and the state’s ability to fund education, health care, pensions, and pay salaries and benefits would be dramatically reduced”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.

He concluded his speech by urging voters to protect Georgia’s independence and values, saying: “October 26 is the decisive moment when good should overcome evil, peace should overcome war, patriotism should overcome service to others, independence should overcome vassalage, and common sense should overcome LGBT propaganda”.
