Giorgi Margvelashvili: We see that representatives of the Church stand above the law
We ask our relatives, on behalf of our children, on behalf of our parents, for whose lives we are fighting, not to go to churches on holidays, - former President Giorgi Margvelashvili said on PalitraNews.
According to him, there should not be a dilemma between science and religion in the 21st century in a country of educated nation.
“We hear some strange phrases like "negotiations are underway", "the parties must agree" - I have the impression that it is not about the citizens of one and the same state, parts of which are the government and representatives of a particular religion. They are like two states or some international organizations ... that is, we see a reality when we cannot clearly hear from the state - follow the law. We see strange, confusing contexts, when we hear various interpretations of law by high-ranking officials.
On the other hand, we see that representatives of the Church stand above the law because of their faith. To be honest, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It is already clear, we have seen everything. I no longer want to go into the details. I understand Christianity differently, it is caring for others and the whole process of the coronavirus epidemic is caring for the weakest. I do not even want to talk about the fact that the very essence of the state is that the law should be observed by everyone”, said Margvelashvili.
