"The European Union is opening up to us, and you are closing the country to regular flights, including to countries where epidemiological conditions are good, for example, the Baltic states, Poland. How can this be explained? Political nonsense? Do you have any secret intentions? Explain," one of the leaders of European Georgia Giga Bokeria stated.
"According to all the information in the media, this issue will be resolved positively for Georgia, which is very good. Once again, the free world will help us, to have a chance to get out of this situation quickly, in parallel with this your government announced yesterday that it would close the space for regular flights for another month. What do you have against people, businesses, entrepreneurs, citizens, everyone? How long should this last? I will again provide you with a list of 117 countries with a lower tax burden than us. And another question, if Kobakhidze comes to you tomorrow, and tells you that he should hold a meeting of the association in Tbilisi, will you let those people back in Tbilisi or not?" Bokeria said.
