On November 1, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, announced that the ruling Georgian Dream party would boycott future sessions of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly (PA). During his statement on social media, Papuashvili referred to the recent Euronest PA session in Yerevan, which the Georgian Dream delegation had already refused to attend. He emphasized that the Assembly’s resolutions included provisions introduced by "some Members of the European Parliament, known for their hostile, unfair, and politically biased attitudes toward Georgia," which he described as "utterly unacceptable and outrageous for Georgian society".

Papuashvili stated that one of the resolutions characterized the October 26, 2024, parliamentary elections as "rigged" and the government elected by the people as "self-proclaimed". He added that it also referred to as "political prisoners" those individuals who had "attacked police officers and state institutions" and were convicted by the court, thus, in his words, "completely disregarding the very essence of the rule of law". In response, Papuashvili accused the European Parliament of transforming Euronest "into an instrument of blackmail and a means of forcibly imposing its narrow political agenda on its neighboring countries". He emphasized that it was "categorically unacceptable when the Euronest neglects the will of the Georgian people and, going beyond its founding mandate, seeks to annul elections and democratic institutions of its member country". "Therefore, considering the hostile and narrow political approaches of these forces of the European Parliament, Georgia’s standing parliamentary delegation will not take part in next sessions of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly," Papuashvili stated, while noting that the delegation could re-engage "should the European Parliament create appropriate conditions for constructive dialogue". The Speaker also urged the European Parliament to "abandon its narrow political agenda and respect the rules-based international order," describing its current behavior as "anti-democratic" and "a direct path to the self-isolation and marginalization of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly".
