German Foreign Ministry`s statement on the release of Mzia Amaghlobeli is a very open and blatant interference in the independence of Georgian judiciary – Kobakhidze

German Foreign Ministry`s statement on the release of Mzia Amaghlobeli is a very open and blatant interference in the independence of Georgian judiciary. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

"Previously, there were direct and blatant interferences in our elections by German politicians and the EU ambassador. Now, they are interfering in the independence of the judiciary, and this is absolutely unacceptable, especially since Germany has always been recognized for its respect for the rule of law and the principle of the legal state.

We can no longer recognize Germany, a state where the concept of a legal state was deeply developed, and yet today, that idea is trampled upon by German bureaucrats. This is deeply regrettable to me personally, especially since I received my legal education in Germany. Just 20 years ago, I was taught something entirely different, yet today, German bureaucrats act in a completely different manner", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.

When asked whether there could be a shift in attitudes and approaches with the new Chancellor, he expressed hope that, should the new Chancellor be independent of the influence of the "Deep State", changes could occur.

"Let`s leave that hope aside. If the new Chancellor is independent of the `Deep State` and the Global War Party`s influence, then changes may occur, though it’s difficult to predict in advance.

We`ll have to see how events unfold. The extent to which the `Deep State` and the ‘Global War Party` influence specific countries is evident in the Baltic states, which have completely lost their sovereignty and all principles. This is unfortunate for us, especially given our country’s special bond with the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian peoples", - added Irakli Kobakhidze.
