That's why we did not participate in the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly: those organizing it from the European Parliament side, those who were active, are our so-called tireless friends, and we knew they would commit some scandalous and unprecedented injustice - and indeed, that's what happened, - "Georgian Dream" deputy Tengiz Sharmanashvili told journalists.

Irakli Kobakhidze stated that he takes full responsibility for any agreement concluded with his participation if corruption risks emerge within it. Therefore, the public must immediately receive comprehensive answers to all existing questions regarding the deal signed with the Arab company; otherwise, there are reasonable suspicions that we are dealing either with complete incompetence or with unhealthy, corruption-related motives — writes Badri Japaridze, one of the leaders of “Strong Georgia – Lelo,” on Facebook.

Questions, of course, exist. We have not hidden these questions. Moreover, they are raised quite loudly from the Georgian political spectrum when it comes to the activities of the German ambassador in Georgia.

Ivanishvili's declared goal in this country is the murder of democracy, and he announced this before the elections - Kobakhidze confirms that he is banning "Lelo" because we did not enter the illegitimate parliament, which is a far-fetched, ridiculous argument, - General Secretary of "Lelo - Strong Georgia," Irakli Kupradze, stated this while discussing the constitutional lawsuit prepared by "Georgian Dream," through which the ruling party demands the banning of 3 political entities, including "Lelo."
