Former President Giorgi Margvelashvili says that the people standing on the street today are not only part of a political process, but they are also saving the country's image.

As Margvelashvili said on PalitraNews, Georgia would be a country of shameful swindlers if it had accepted the failure of the proportional election bill.

"The Georgian Dream and its leadership gave up a very strong promise given to the public and the whole world at the expense of insulting themselves, as well as the country and us… each part of this story is shameful.

If the young people and the opposition had not taken to streets, we would have all fallen into a very bad situation, because it would have turned out that the word is not worth anything in Georgia and that we are all swindlers. That’s what others would think about us - that we lie each other and people do not even care about it. The people standing on the street today are not only part of a political process, but they are also saving the country's image. We would have been a country of shameful swindlers, if we he had accepted this,” Margvelashvili said.

According to him, today the opposition is trying to figure out how to correct the shameful behavior of the ruling team, offering it various options and the "caprice of the government" is unacceptable.

"This was a shameful fraud, which was planned and voiced by one person - Bidzina Ivanishvili, but the whole leadership of the Georgian Dream sang in unison”, Margvelashvili said.
