as a big fighting of democracy, but unfortunately our international partners being at the sienna you now european union also assess the situation in georgia starting up back in, in the beginning of 2021. as a backslider golfer democracy, the problem here is that the person responsible for all based left on the position of, of the chair of ruling party. and he decided to rule into becoming for bo and have no official responsibility. and started to run this country from the shadow. as you understand, this is the management which is impossible and incompatible with european standards and democratic standards. so what is georgia? dream is try and get this point is to maintain power and for maintaining power. they are even ready to, to shift georgia's for in policy. i was an aperture curry,
