The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament condemned an opposition rally held in capital Tbilisi the previous day to protest the results of last month’s general elections, calling it a “display of falsehoods, submission, and disorder”.

“I mentioned at the pre-election meeting in Kutaisi how they manipulate war as peace, balance on one leg as freedom, falsehood as truth, and the Kiss of Judas as love for the Georgian people.

Yesterday, the Georgian people witnessed falsehood, a desire for submission, a call for disorder. And all this in the name of Europe”, - writes Shalva Papuashvili.
