Do you remember the second visit of the European Council President Charles Michel\u2019s envoy\u00a0 Christian Danielson to Georgia? When\u00a0 during the first visit he failed to make \u00a0the Georgian politicians to heed something, during the second visit he brought a document prepared and directly told the opposition and position: you shall sign this unconditionally, the document is agreed in Europe. The Georgian political elite also read for the first time in Tbilisi the agenda on which they and, consequently, the whole country should live for the next four years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, \u00a0the West tries to prove and the \u00a0Georgian politicians fail to \u00a0agree, but they really have agreed \u00a0on one very important thing – no one liked the document brought by Danielson. Both the government and the opposition returned a negative to Europe: it won\u2019t do, you have decided wrongly for\u00a0 us. This was the first time that the Georgian political spectrum unanimously said no to the \u201cstrategic partner\u201d Europe. It was so unexpected that before Europe became anxious and angry, a lot of time hadpassed, Georgian politicians thought, disobeyed and craned their necks \u00a0(in the literary meaning of this word). Well, the \u201cstrategic partner\u201d and \u201chistorical friend\u201d realized that Georgia was slipping from its hands, the country started \u00a0an independent political game, and\u2026<\/strong>suddenly the chairman of the Georgian Dream, IrakliKobakhidze, who had \u00a0never mentioned \u00a0that he had planned \u00a0a visit to the United States left\u00a0 for the USA. However, even if there is no pandemic, even under normal conditions, such visits are usually agreed at least six months in advance, and, oh, surprisingly, Kobakhidze went to America out-of-schedule.<\/p>\n

At such times the Russians used to say, \u201che was called\u00a0 on the carpet\u201d. Why Russians? Because, in the end, it turned out that the country that is most criticized by Georgian politicians does not interfere in our domestic affairs at all and calmly watches how the West has fun performing\u00a0 experiments on Georgian politicians<\/strong>. The experiment is when one day you say categorically that you will not do it and the next day, after calling from Europe, you come out like a child without a pampers and you agree to everything. Less than a day after Kobakhidze\u2019s visit to the United States, ArchilTalakvadze<\/strong>, theSpeaker of the Georgian Parliament\u2026 no, of the powerful and principled Parliament, came out and solemnly said: \u201cWe are ready to sign the document submitted by Danielson unilaterally and now it\u2019s the turn of the opposition.\u201dThis is the same Talakvadze, who did not like Danielson\u2019s document, especially the clause according to which five of the 16 parliamentary committees should be chaired by the opposition – how could he explain to the members of his team that they should \u00a0leave their posts?<\/strong> Now, without explanation, after signing the document, he will have to perform \u00a0theclause provided \u00a0there and force five teammates to resign. The fact that no one asks the chairpersons of those five committees anything is easy to understand. They were sacrificed as \u00a0pawns to the bishops \u00a0on the chessboard \u2013 nothing to say about \u00a0the kings and queens<\/strong>. In addition, the document detailed this topic. Two out of five chairs in\u00a0 the following committees – Procedural and Rules, Legal, Human Rights and Civil Integration, Budget and Finance, and Foreign Affairs,\u00a0 should be chosen by the opposition. Obviously, there are those five committees where any interrupted or delayed work \u00a0automatically means the suspension of the parliament, and why anybody \u00a0thinks that the opposition will not try to organize sabotage from the post of the committee chairman? Does anybody believe they love the country so much, that they will not dare this\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about the opposition first and then about slavery. Just \u00a0the opposition met Danielson with fanfares, but they could not find out any clause in the document, which clearly stated that the government should call early elections. The opposition was convinced that Europe would seize power from the Georgian Dream, place it on a gilded plate, and hand it over to \u00a0the opposition in a pergola.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, as the opposition did not hope to win the elections, so it was \u00a0trying to \u00a0get rid of the Georgian Dream by means of \u00a0the West, but the West postponed the \u201crelease\u201d \u00a0for 4 years and the opposition did not like it. However, four years is just such a long period \u00a0that\u2026 now the ball is in the opposition\u2019s court and the West has to show, in general, whether\u00a0 it \u00a0can only \u201csuppress\u201d the government or enslave the opposition at the drop of the hat? However, the leader of the separated \u201cGirchi\u201dZurabJaparidze clearly stated that signing the document means declaring capitulation. It turns out that if the opposition enters the parliament, takes over five committees, changes the election code, reviews \u00a0the judiciary system and remakes it, it is \u00a0a capitulation. The opposition wants either everything or nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result of pressure from the West theopposition or government leaders have changed times out of number their positions radically in the past year. It is difficult when you have so much power, when the whole country is under your feet and at this time someone comes or calls you and tells you that you have to live according to their \u00a0agenda. Therefore, as it is written in \u201cData Tutashkhia\u201d – \u201cshit happens\u201d – this is how Georgian politicians justify themselves and then step on their own principles, self-esteem, morals and say what the West is forcing them to say. Just is forcing, otherwise how can one \u00a0say one thing one day and the opposite the next<\/strong>?But if they do not betray all this, they might be turned around and lose the welfare\u00a0 that came out of the blue in their waiting hands. Exactly out of the blue, because in 2012 the National Movement\u2019s power was changed by one man and that one man is no longer visible at all, he has washed his hands and lives in peace, while his legacy\u2026<\/p>\n

During their rallies the opposition activists often chanted \u201cslaves, slaves\u201d, mostly to the law enforcement officers. However, those activists should know best that their leaders are the classic example of slavery; the leaders who run headlong at one call from an ambassador of any European country and listen to their instructions; the \u00a0leaders who listen to the American ambassador, Kelly Degnan\u00a0 stamping feet and banging fists\u00a0 with their heads \u00a0down and cannot return the word.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After meeting with the ambassadors, a number of\u00a0 \u00a0politicians who had left \u00a0their residences said: \u201cWe were drinking coffee, eating cakes, we almost did not talk\u201d, \u00a0and in this case they do not lie. They do not speak there, no one let them speak, they receive instructions on how to live by themselves and how to make live the \u00a0people. Any question is considered as disobedience, the disobedient persons are removed from the political field, and nobody wants to be removed, because no one has yet invented a more profitable business than politics in Georgia yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kobakhidzehas made \u00a0the Speaker of the Parliament to sign the document with one phone call and when he arrives, the rest will follow this. We think that his teammates \u00a0will listen to Kobakhidze in much the same way as the team footballers were listening to the newspaper item that was read to them, in Nana Mchedlidze\u2019s film \u201cThe First Robin\u201d \u2013 with open mouth, surprised and happy\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a\u00a0 laughing manner, the fact is\u00a0 that Kobakhidze shook hands with the American congressmen and this should be associated with a\u00a0 touch of political sacredness \u00a0for the representatives of the government and the opposition.<\/p>\n

In such a situation it is difficult to hope for something and believe in the future, when some \u00a0congressman, some Danielson, some Michelle and someone else (everyone is someone who interferes in the internal affairs of Georgia so rudely) treats Georgian politicians like little children, push them, make them reject their principles, force them to make incomprehensible decisions for the future of the country\u2026 And it is a fact that the life on the orders \u00a0ofthe western politicians has brought us so far. We have nothing of our own, even the thinking , and we get the promises only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have \u00a0one foot in NATO and the other – \u00a0behind us\u2026\u201d So we are in all directions, one foot forward and the other back. However, the sprawled politicians can easily find accessible places and do not trust them, while they\u00a0 do not trust us, ordinary people, and so we have been living for years, just for 30 years now.<\/p>\n

It did not matter whether the opposition signs the Danielson\u2019s document, the West has already proved that it holds \u00a0Georgia firmly in its hands and is \u00a0not going to let it out alive.<\/p>\n
