"Dream" at the level of heads of state tried to "fix" the situation in order to get the status

Zura Japaridze, leader of Girchi-More Liberty, says that while the European Commission was discussing granting Georgia candidate status, the Georgian Dream was trying to negotiate at the level of heads of state in order to obtain candidate status directly.

According to Dzhaparidze, he was told about this by his Western partners during his visit to Brussels. According to him, they say in Brussels that if the leadership tries to do the same this time too, the attempt will fail anyway.

In addition, according to Zura Japaridze, the West sees that the Dream has three strategies for this stage and says that all three strategies are doomed to fail.

"They see that Dream is using three strategies right now, and they have told us directly that all three strategies are doomed to fail. One is that the Dream is trying to execute the less problematic points for them because they are not losing control of the democratic institutions and, therefore, they wont lose power.;

Secondly, they will try or have already tried to bargain that "some points will be met, in relation to the rest we will be also pursued" and say - no, all 12 points must be met and they will not turn a blind eye to any point;

The third thing is that they have already tried - before the decision of June 17 Dream has tried to jump on our heads and "fix" the situation right at the highest level and get this status, and as this attempt failed, so this time it will be unsuccessful, "- said Zura Japaridze.

At the briefing with Giorgi Vashadze he spoke about his visit to Brussels. According to him the ongoing processes and problems in Georgia were discussed intensively. Particularly rhetoric of the ruling party against the West was touched upon.

Japaridze and Vashadze held meetings at the highest level with the people directly involved in the issue of Georgia and the granting of candidate status for the country.

Japaridze announces that a document will be made public on how European partners see the current situation in Georgia:

"The document we are making public is not my and Giorgi's thoughts, it is how Europeans see the current state of Georgia.

As for the propaganda directed against the West, one of the important things they told us is that they have spoken to the Georgian authorities many times and told them that it is a complete lie and that the partner country cannot behave this way towards the European Union, but they said that they keep doing what they are doing, there is no illusion that some people are leaving the "Georgian dream" and this "people's power" is an independent body, no one in Europe believes it, it is definitely the Georgian dream.

I would like to stress that at the end of the year there will probably be no assessment mission in Georgia. They will start writing the assessment in February-March next year and will finish it at the end of the year, and with a high degree of probability at this point they see such trends that the assessment will be negative. Among them the reason is that they are not expecting legislative changes on a number of points, but to observe how these legislative changes work, they need to see in real life that these legislative changes bring results, one of them is deoligarization, simply to adopt a law on deoligarization is not enough, it is necessary to observe in time, whether deoligarization has occurred, and as we were told, time for observation in practice remains less and less, because the dream has not taken a single step on many points," Japaridze said.
