Georgian Prime Minister Vows to “Completely Neutralize” Opposition “Liberal Fascists”

MADRID Dec. 6 () –

The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobajzide, promised this Friday that he will dedicate all his efforts to “completely neutralize” the opposition, representative of “liberal fascism” that has been demonstrating for weeks against the October legislative elections, which the party of the first won. minister, Georgian Dream, at the beginning of a chain of events that has led to the suspension of the country’s accession process to the EU and strategic relations with the United States.

Kobajzide now leads an Executive under siege from Brussels and Washington, who have expressed their full support to pro-European President Salomé Zurabishili. The president has declared the October elections as fraudulent and announced that she will remain in power after declaring the next presidential elections scheduled for December 14 illegitimate.

“We are absolutely determined to completely neutralize the radical opposition,” said the Georgian prime minister in a televised appearance lasting almost an hour in which he assured that “no trace of liberal fascism will remain in this country.”

In his speech, he accused the opposition of undermining “the constitutional order of Georgia with its demands” for new elections and of directly opposing the two fundamental principles of the Constitution: democracy and the rule of law.

For the head of the Executive, the arrests of the more than 300 opponents carried out so far “is absolutely logical” as it is a defense maneuver against “a direct attack on the constitutional order and in which violent groups have been directly involved.” “.

As he did last week, the Georgian Prime Minister assured the country’s president that “he has three Fridays left in office” and regretted that her refusal to resign as Head of State “has destroyed her dignity.” Zurabisvili, Kobajzide has charged, “has been directly involved in a disinformation campaign; directly involved in a campaign against Georgia’s national interests and directly involved in this wave of liberal fascism.”

Finally, the prime minister has declared himself “absolutely open” to defending his government’s transparency before “the international media” to counter “the avalanche of misinformation that is being spread against Georgia and its national interests.”
