and the georgian dream and bidzina ivanishvili himself, they were denying it. he made a speech not long time ago, when the government organised its own rally in support of the bill, and it was the first time that the public heard kind of a political speech from bidzina ivanishvili in many years. and the comments after this speech were that the masks are off and he hasjust shown his realface. the speech was full of kind of conspiracy theories and it was full of anti—western messaging. he claimed that georgia's 2003 rose revolution was planned by some western powers, that they were the ones behind wars in georgia in 2008 and war in ukraine right now. and what's his line about the eu specifically? for years, the georgian dream government has been saying that they are aligned with this big wish that this country has, which isjoining the european union. it is even written in the constitution of georgia. so, the government says that they are pro—european. they're very, very friendly with viktor 0rban in hungary and that is perhaps the model that they have chosen.
