Ex-PM Gakharia’s party refuses to join any rally for EU integration: we’re focused on working with partners

The For Georgia party founded by the country’s Former PM Giorgi Gakharia has refused to join any rallies which would be held ahead of the decision of the European Commission on the country’s EU candidate status. 

The party member Mikheil Daushvili said on Tuesday that they welcomed any gathering for the country’s European integration. However, noting that political forces should now be focused on communication with partners to ensure the candidate status for the country rather than dates or rallies. 

“The whole process, which is related to European integration, was reduced by the Georgian Dream to the forms and dates and not to the political will,” Daushvili said in reference to state authorities. 

The opposition and NGOs planned a rally in central Tbilisi on June 20, while the President offered the public to gather on June 16 to “show the Europe our unity and aspiration.”
