Speaker of the Georgian Parliament criticised Moldovan President over her recent remarks concerning Georgia, accusing her of anti-Georgian rhetoric and political bias.

As Shalva Papuashvili said, Maia Sandu lacks the moral and political authority to address the Georgian people "in such a tone", claiming that her statements reflect actions taken "at the prompting of others".

He also recalled events of October 4, alleging that Sandu supported efforts to overthrow the Georgian Government at that time: “This statement also shows that she is acting at the behest of others, as we are reminded of her only once a year, and for some reason she believes she has a certain moral, political, or ideological superiority to speak to the Georgian people in such a tone. When we hear such anti-Georgian rhetoric from the President of Moldova, it is absolutely outrageous, and it is important that there be a response to it. Perhaps we should also have had a very clear response at the time, when the Moldovan President openly supported groups involved in the violent overthrow of the Government.

Sandu supports the dissolution of her own state… As a rule, our homegrown pseudo-Europeans tend to support everyone except Georgia and their own country. I would remind you what the justification for Ms. Sandu`s statement was. Her justification was that Moldova is a small state, cannot survive, and therefore must join a larger state.

When a head of state says that her own state is too small and insignificant, and that in order to survive it must be abolished, it is clear that we are on completely different value orbits, and in this regard, we cannot compete with Moldova", - said Shalva Papuashvili.
