Speaker Shalva Papuashvili accuses Laura Thornton of pushing for a forceful government change in Georgia, invoking the Maidan spirit, which most Georgians see as national destruction. He criticizes her ties to foreign-funded networks, claims her calls for civil disobedience aim to destabilize Georgia, and dismisses her election fraud allegations.

Papuashvili argues that such efforts harm both Georgia and the U.S., portraying Thornton as part of a broader push for regime change.
