A series of visits by Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili to Europe, which were not coordinated with the government, and the scandal that followed them, testify to internal disagreements in the country, which, in turn, influence external political processes. Thus, Georgian analysts are convinced that recent events will serve as an additional factor for the European Union to refuse to grant Georgia the status of a candidate country.

According to Nika Chitadze, head of the Center for Security Studies and International Relations, the ruling party of Georgia is not interested in Georgia's candidacy for the EU, as this implies additional responsibility, and mainly in relation to the development of democratic institutions. The expert claims that the ruling party, relying on the Constitution, wants to show who is the boss, and its actions are aimed at discrediting the president and the opposition. Earlier, he stated that the Georgian Dream road leads Georgia to Russia. Thus, by not coordinating the president's visits, the government purposefully hinders her in pursuing a foreign policy in the direction of European integration, Nika Chitadze believes.

Recall that on September 1, the ruling party of Georgia announced the launch of the impeachment procedure for the president. The head of the party, Irakli Kobakhidze, noted that in order to start the process, the conclusion of the Constitutional Court is necessary, which will certainly confirm the violation of the Constitution by Salome Zurabishvili.

Georgian Dream, which consists of 84 deputies, has also started consultations with representatives of the opposition in order to obtain the 16 votes missing for impeachment. However, opposition parliamentarians refuse to cooperate with the ruling party, considering such a decision a blow to the country's European prospects.
