Tina Bokuchava: You are the government that eagerly defends Partskhaladze, but tries to cover up the Shovi tragedy - you promised democracy to the people, but you created a Russian "banditocracy"

I am not surprised by your government sacrificing people's lives, you are the government that turned the dead body of Barbara Rafaliantsi, an infant, into a political flag; You are the government that defends Partskhaladze eagerly, but you try to cover up the tragedy of Shovi. Protection of Partskhaladze - covering up the tragedy of Shovi, even in this one sentence it is clear what government this is, Tina Bokuchava, the chairperson of the National Movement faction, stated this at the plenary session of the Parliament, where the Minister of Internal Affairs, Vakhtang Gomelauri, is being heard on the issue of the tragedy of Shovi.

Tina Bokuchava asked the Minister how many helicopters are actually on the state's balance sheet and why they could not be used immediately and effectively during the Shovi tragedy.

According to Bokuchava, it is the official crime of the Minister that, in the background of natural tragedies since the flood of Tbilisi in 2015, on August 3, 2023, Georgia met the disaster unprepared.

"The Soviet-made Mi-8 type 2 helicopter, which, according to your own admission, arrived at the place of the tragedy 3 hours late, is not equipped with a rescue function. These are old Soviet-made flying machines, which only have a transport function. Despite numerous public promises by your government, the government has not purchased additional search and rescue helicopters. It is directly your responsibility, your official crime, your indifference that after the Tbilisi flood in 2015, after the Borjomi fire in 2017, after the Gudauri tragedy in 2022, Georgia met August 3, 2023 without a single helicopter that could be on the ground on time, to save people's lives. Explain to the public how many helicopters are actually on the balance sheet of the state and why you could not use them immediately and effectively? I am not surprised by your government sacrificing people's lives, you are the government that came to power by speculating on human life, when you turned the dead body of 9-month-old Barbara Rafaliantsi, an infant, into a political flag; You are the government that defends Partskhaladze eagerly, but you try to cover up the tragedy of Shovi. Protecting Partskhaladze - covering up the Shovi tragedy, even in this one sentence it is clear what kind of government this is. You promised democracy to the Georgian people, but you created a Russian "banditocracy", where the human life doesn't have a price. Protecting Russian spies is your most important national task, for which all state agencies act in a coordinated manner. This is the "Russian dream" - a citizen of Georgia buried in corruption, left alone in the face of collapsed state institutions, bullied," said Bokuchava.

Michał Kobosko - we hope that your government eventually would either choose the European way, the democratic way or would resign seeing the number, the size and scale of the citizens' protests
