Shalva Papuashvili criticizes European Parliament
Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili criticized the European Parliament following recent resolutions, stating the institution is in a ‘civilizational abyss’ and has been ‘infiltrated by individuals with a Soviet mentality.’ Papuashvili argued that the European Parliament’s actions, including nine resolutions targeting Georgia, reflect a hostile subtext toward the Georgian people.
In separate domestic developments, former prisoner Leri Beritashvili spoke regarding the conditions in prisons during the National Movement’s rule. Beritashvili described experiencing torture, including being subjected to electric shocks and witnessing the abuse of his child, urging younger generations to understand the severity of past political governance.
