If someone thinks that it is better for our country to postpone the decision on the status than to announce the status today, strengthen monitoring, stand by Europe, return to the trio, he should come out and say this publicly, and not to international partners, - MP from the opposition Khatuna Samnidze reported about this on the air of the First Channel.

According to her, "there has been information for a long time that specific representatives of the opposition are preventing Georgia from being granted candidate status, but in recent days these efforts have intensified, which is also confirmed by international partners."

"They tell me that they do not understand what my message is: you say and make every effort that you need status, the country needs it. The government comes and goes, the main thing is that the country receives its status, and it doesn’t matter what kind of government the country has today - you tell me that some of your colleagues, especially women deputies, plan to make specific visits to specific capitals, and at present there are politicians in the opposition who send different messages to our international partners and I think hinder this decision-making process. I’m telling you this for the first time on the air, this information has been around for a long time, but in recent days it has become even stronger and we have received more information from our international partners who confirmed that this is happening. I want to ask our colleagues through your television program as well to come out and say this publicly, to convey their position to the public if they think it is correct. They know that this position is wrong,” said Khatuna Samnidze.
