The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
This was not a threat by the EU commissioner. It was simply stated that in these already volatile times in Georgia, moving forward with this controversial bill would only pour flames on the fire and could realistically lead to the regrettable violence that was recently witnessed in Slovakia. The commissioner's words were distorted and placed out of context.
Establishment-critical narrative
Even in the face of existing blackmail by EU officials, alluding to the assassination attempt on the Slovak prime minister was a shocking new low. Nonetheless, it provides even more evidence that the Global War Party would like nothing more than to create the same revolution in Georgia as it did in Ukraine in order to open up another front against Russia.
