Christian Danielson: Unfortunately, there was no readiness at the table today to reach a compromise

This is a decision that puts the interests of the country above all other issues. It is unfortunate to say that no political party has made this decision. There were some elements that were agreed upon, these include electoral reform, justice reform and the redistribution of power. "Work will continue in this direction," said Christian Danielson, Special Representative of the President of the Council of Europe, after a meeting with the ruling team and the opposition.
According to Christian Danielson, in the end, Georgia's Western partners are not here to force the parties to make decisions.
"Ultimately, Georgia's Western partners are not here to force the parties to make decisions. These are not the methods used by the EU. Our method is mediation and so Georgian leaders must compromise and address these challenges. As I said, compromise is strength, not weakness. European aspirations need compromises, especially from the ruling party, to pull the country out of the crisis. Of course, with very high ambitions comes a lot of responsibility. "Unfortunately, there was no willingness to compromise at the table today," Danielson said.
