Ruling Party Sec Gen criticises German Ambassador’s statement on Georgia’s EU prospects

Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Tuesday strongly condemned remarks made by Peter Fischer, Germany’s Ambassador to Georgia, calling them insulting and beyond the bounds of diplomatic conduct.

Commenting on the Ambassador’s statement that Georgia had no chance of joining the European Union under the current Government, Kaladze noted that “our biggest problem today is that there are still ambassadors like Peter Fischer within the country”.

“Such individuals should not dare, nor should they be allowed by their country, to represent any nation here. This is harmful, first and foremost, to the country they represent”, the ruling party official said.

“We maintain friendly and partnership relations with Germany, but when we see such audacity - in this case from an ambassador - it is very serious, insulting, and exceeds all diplomatic boundaries”, he concluded.
