I appeal to the Georgian government to do everything to save Saakashvili, to maintain a pro-European image - auštrevičius

MEP Petras auštrevičius calls on the Georgian authorities to do everything to save the life of the third president and maintain a pro-European image. He made the mentioned statement during the current debate in the European Parliament.

"Georgia's government claims that it is committed to European aspirations and wants closer ties with the West. Nevertheless, there is deep polarization in the country, and political battles are devoid of elementary political culture. Mikheil Saakashvili, who woke up Georgia and radically changed it, has been in prison for 16 months. This political Is it revenge or a return to the past? I call on the Georgian authorities to give Saakashvili the right to undergo proper treatment abroad without delay, thus preserving the country's European appearance," he said.
