**Georgian Dream Spends Big to Look Good**
The ruling party, Georgian Dream, is spending a lot of money and resources to create the impression that everything is normal. They are trying to show that they are being welcomed by other countries, but experts say this is not true.
According to Zaza Bibilashvili, head of the Chavchavadze Center, Georgian Dream is more interested in creating a good image than in working for Georgia‘s real interests. He said that they are using lobbyists and spending big money to create a “picture” of legitimacy.
For example, recently, a low-level parliamentary delegation was sent to Romania. They took some photos, which will be used as proof that Georgian Dream is being engaged with the international community. But in reality, this is far from the truth.
Bibilashvili said that Georgian Dream’s real goal is not to work for Georgia’s interests but to create a visual perception that they are in dialogue with other countries. He called it “cynical Russian propaganda” when a Georgian Dream MP claimed that Romania asked whether the EU would be ready for enlargement by 2030.
The EU has already said that it is ready for enlargement, and Georgia was even invited to submit its membership application in 2022. But Georgian Dream ran a campaign claiming this was a provocation, which turned out to be false.
Bibilashvili also commented on the joint letter sent to European leaders by Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, along with opposition parties and civil society representatives. He said that while this is a positive step, real action that would draw Europe’s attention would be political unification.
**Europe Told to Unite**
Bibilashvili also noted that European leaders are telling Georgian politicians to unite. They say that if Georgia wants more attention from Europe, it needs to come together as one country. But instead of uniting, Georgia is sending four separate delegations, which does not make sense.
In conclusion, Bibilashvili said that Europeans do not take seriously the efforts of multiple parties that fail to coordinate with each other. They are telling Georgian politicians to unite and work together for the country’s benefit.
