Deputy Irkli Chishvili spoke of a double standard on the part of Germany and France: they criticized Georgia for chasing protesters with Molotov cocktails, and now they themselves are tightening the laws for the same actions. He supported tightening, but noted that the Europeans had previously denied attacks on police officers in Georgia. "The French authorities are doing the right thing, but we also did the right thing. It's just that we heard the wrong criticism at the time," Chishvili said. The reason was a case of attempted murder that was opened in Paris after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a police officer.
