Businessman Giorgi Kapanadze declares, that there is no alternative to Europe, peace, openness and transparency. The businessman responds to the recent developments on his official Facebook page:
"I want to respond to the recent processes in the country. For me, as a citizen of this country and an ordinary businessman, it is really not important how Georgia is developing. It is clear and indisputable that Europe and European values are what we have been striving for many years. I am sure that our long-term progress on this path will end successfully and Georgia will become a worthy, equal member of the European Union with its culture, traditions and principles! To achieve this goal, the most important thing is peace!
Fortunately, despite many political upheavals and speculations, as well as external and internal challenges, the country managed to maintain stability and peace in recent years, we got the possibility of visa-free travel with Europe, EU candidate status and I hope that the door to negotiations will open soon. A peaceful and stable environment is vital for every citizen and business, which is directly proportional to the well-being of Georgian citizens!
As a businessman, I have repeatedly become the target of dirty slander and disinformation. Unfortunately, this was in the style of Russian propaganda and that is what is Russian! These campaigns of targeted lies, of which many people have become victims, have nothing in common with Europe!
Many people do not understand why transparency can be Russian and campaign defamation is European?! I'm not going to go into the nuances of the law, although I think no truly European-minded person would have anything against transparency. Politicians should discuss other details not amid chaos, threats, and blackmail, but at the negotiating table!
As a businessman who creates a lot of jobs in the country, I am sure that Europe has no alternative! Peace! Openness and transparency!" - writes Giorgi Kapanadze.
