We should put more pressure on individuals in the Georgian leadership and also on Ivanishvili, who we know is a key person in this direction, MEP Petras Austrevicius said in the European Parliament, during a discussion “Political prisoners ordered to die: Kara-Murza, Gorinov and Saakashvili”.

 

The MEP thus answered a question about what is the main hindering factor, due to which the European Union does not consider the imposition of sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili.

 

"I would like to remind you that in the resolution adopted a month ago, we demanded the sanctioning of Ivanishvili. Therefore, it most likely depends on other EU institutions. It is a good question to ask von der Leyen whether she is willing to take this issue forward because we have come to a point where we have to talk clearly and make a decision. Tbilisi is no longer accepting words, and we must start acting and put more pressure on individuals in the Georgian leadership and also on Ivanishvili, who we know is a key person in this direction," said Austrevicius.
