The Georgian Dream MP and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee said that MEP Viola von Cramon "will not be criticized if she makes unbiased statements".
According to Nikiloz Samkharadze, those who call on the government not to punish the "criminal" are "not in line" with European values.
"If Viola, what's her last name, Viola von Cramon does not make biased statements, then none of us will criticize this statement in this case. So very simply, if she's in favor of granting Georgia candidacy, then let's work together on these issues.
Any person who calls on the government of Georgia not to punish a criminal and not to punish him because instead of not being a criminal, he is a politician, for me this is not European values," Nikoloz Samkharadze said.
For reference, chairman of Georgian Dream coalition Irakli Kobakhidze has said that Viola von Cramon is a backer of criminals. According to him, she, Anna Fotyga and others are anti-EU.
