The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, said that the European Union has repeatedly failed the test of support for violence. He wrote on social media: "Those who have already been convicted of supporting violence once must convince us that it will not happen again. The European Union and its embassy have already failed the test of support for violence many times. It is now their responsibility to wash away this heavy stain. Until then, the European Union and its embassy remained supporters of violence."
