In Georgia, the head of the OSCE and the Finnish Foreign Ministry were fined. What did she do?

She is accused of illegally blocking the central Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi in front of the parliament building on October 14. Valtonen, who is on a trip to the Caucasus, joined the participants in the opposition rally, the TV channel indicates.

The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent a verbal note of protest to the OSCE secretariat, pointing out that Minister Valtonen's public statements “do not reflect reality and represent a deliberate attempt to mislead the international community regarding the situation in Georgia,” writes 1tv.

On October 14, the politician recorded and published a video message recorded near parliament. She explained that she supported the peaceful protesters who gathered in front of the parliament building to express their concern about the “repressive course of their country.”

“They have every right to democracy, freedom of speech and basic human rights. We are here to support them,” the politician says in the video.

Later, when it became known about the fine, the minister invited the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, to come to Finland, meet with the free press and attend any demonstration “that he likes.”
