Khatia Dekanoidze: I call on everyone to stop speculating about Mikheil Saakashvili's health - statements like the one made by the new chairman should have been agreed with all colleagues
I call on everyone to stop speculating about Mikheil Saakashvili's health - statements like the one made by the new chairman should have been agreed with all colleagues, Khatia Dekanoidze, the chairwoman of the National Movement faction, told journalists, thus responding to the statement of Levan Khabeishvili, according to which the party is ready to leave not only the parliament but also the city councils in exchange for the freedom of Mikheil Saakashvili.
According to Dekanoidze, the party is a collegial body and it is necessary to exchange opinions, while the above statement had not been agreed with her.
"I must say that such statements should not be made without agreement with colleagues. I did not know about these statements. Therefore, in any case, I call on everyone to stop speculating about Mikheil Saakashvili's health. It is very important to understand that the main task is Mikheil Saakashvili's health and we must do everything to save his health, but the party is a collegial body and everyone needs to exchange ideas with colleagues. Serious statements like the one made by the new chairman should have been agreed with all colleagues," said Dekanoidze.
She also responded to the statement of Koba Nakopia on the need to leave the mandates and noted that if the issue is decided by the political council, she has nothing against it, however, there should be changes behind statements, otherwise they are populist and such politics have no future.
"Mikheil Saakashvili's health condition is very important, and if this issue arises for the political council of the party to decide, I am not against it either. Everyone should understand that being in the parliament in relation to the issue of absence, working in the parliament means that we are working on the issue of Nika Gvaramia, as it was in the European Council , with international partners on the issue of Mikheil Saakashvili. If the Political Council takes this decision, of course, this will also be acceptable to all the people who are in the parliament. However, I don't like it when only statements are made and no concrete changes are made behind them, so once and In my opinion, populist politics should end forever, because such politics simply have no future, not only in the party, but in general," said Dekanoidze.
For information, Khatia Dekanoidze announced today that she leaves the position of the chairperson of the National Movement parliamentary faction.
"So that no one thinks that I am manipulating any opinion, I am going to appeal to the Chairman of the Parliament and leave the post of the faction's chairperson," said Dekanoidze.
