Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that there is a stable parliamentary majority in the country, despite the demonstrations after a decision on the suspension of negotiations with the European Union (EU), so there is no political crisis.
Prime Minister Kobakhidze at a press conference in the government building spoke about the EU demonstrations that have been going on in the country for 20 days.
Kobahidze noted that some radical forces wanted to create instability during the demonstrations that began after the government decided to suspend the process of negotiations on the entry of Georgia to the EU until 2028.
The politician thanked the security forces for preventing attempts to overthrow the government by violence.
According to him, the government, parliament and state institutions continue to function normally: “The country has a stable parliamentary majority, there is a stable government, so there is no political crisis.”
The prime minister said that Mikheil Kavelashvili, elected on December 14, the 6th president of the country, will be swore to the oath on December 29th.
He also appreciated the decisions or calls of some EU member countries to introduce various sanctions, for example, visa restrictions on Georgian government officials, and called them a provocation.
On the other hand, demonstrations in the support of the EU in Georgia have been continuing for the 20th day.
President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili, angry with the decision of the government in relation to the EU, in its latest statements claimed that there was a political crisis in the country.
