On September 10, the Federal Foreign Office of Germany issued a statement rejecting the remarks of Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament from the Georgian Dream party. In the statement, the Federal Foreign Office said it "firmly rejects and condemns" the "baseless accusations" made by Papuashvili and also "firmly rejects" the "continuing aggressive rhetoric" of ruling party representatives against Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to Georgia. The Federal Foreign Office emphasized that it was "worried that by spreading disinformation and divisive narratives," Papuashvili was "actively undermining Germany-Georgia relations". It underlined that its ambassador "represents the position of the Federal Government". Germany also reiterated its call on the Georgian authorities "to stop spreading false narratives regarding EU and German positions and policies and to change its current political course," the statement concluded. Notably, Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili recently accused Ambassador Fischer of supporting extremist groups, particularly the United National Movement, which he claimed were responsible for violent protests outside the ruling Georgian Dream party's election headquarters in Tbilisi. Papuashvili expressed frustration over the ambassador's failure to condemn these actions, labeling them as "fascist" and alleging that Fischer violated diplomatic protocols by engaging with such groups. Additionally, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze criticized Fischer's meeting with opposition activists during a hunger strike, suggesting that it breached the Vienna Convention's principles of non-interference in domestic affairs.
