MEP Ľuboš Blaha criticises EU’s stance toward Georgia, accuses Brussels of attempting to interfere in Georgia’s internal affairs

Ľuboš Blaha, a Slovak Member of the European Parliament, on Wednesday criticised the European Union’s stance toward Georgia, accusing Brussels of attempting to interfere in the country’s internal affairs and replace its government.

In his remarks, Blaha condemned what he described as the EU’s “arrogant, chauvinistic, and neo-colonial” attitude toward the country.

“Their approach is arrogant, chauvinistic, and neo-colonial. We can see that the European Union uses this practice in many other cases - Georgia is not an exception. There is complete war hysteria and madness on the European continent right now. In this situation, it’s better to stay outside these processes. I hope the EU changes, because that’s the only chance for a normal future. If it continues like this, it will be very dangerous for the EU itself. It’s truly unfair”, he said.

The MEP argued that Georgia faced unjust criticism, while countries such as Moldova, which he described as “undemocratic”, were praised in EU reports.

“Moldova is, in many ways, an undemocratic state. We can see that people in Moldova were not allowed to vote for the opposition in elections, and the opposition is being persecuted - yet, in these reports, Moldova is praised and described as making democratic progress. On the other hand, there are no democratic problems in Georgia. The EU and its activists are trying to bring chaos to your country, to stage a Maidan. All these NGOs, financed by Western circles, are trying to destabilise Georgia. To say that Georgia is bad and Moldova is good is unfair. They want obedient partners - vassals”, he noted.

Blaha further said that many in the EU view Georgia as a “heroic state” for defending its sovereignty.

“In many EU circles, Georgia is considered a heroic state because you are trying to defend your sovereignty. They see as enemies everyone who opposes war. That is not a good basis for dialogue. So, be careful and show patience”, he concluded.
