Mikheil Saakashvili's statement unequivocally shows that this person has not realized what crime he has committed, moreover, he does not regret it and is trying to justify the attack on the media, - Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze said while talking to journalists after the government session. He responded to the statement made by the third President, Mikheil Saakashvili, at the court session.

According to him, those who think of justifying this fact "have nothing to do with the modern understanding of democracy".

"All this unequivocally shows that this person has not realized what crime he has committed, moreover, he does not regret it and is speaking once again and trying to justify the attack on the media. Of course, November 7 was nothing but a brutal attack on the media, in the literal sense of the word. If someone tries to justify this, of course, he has nothing to do with the modern understanding of democracy", said Rati Bregadze.

In addition, Rati Bregadze also responded to the statement made by the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, regarding his pardon by Salome Zurabishvili.

As the Minister noted, if a person does not admit that he has committed a crime, it is impossible for him to be pardoned.

In addition, the Minister of Justice also spoke about Mikheil Saakashvili's political plans and noted that he is not a citizen of Georgia and has no leverage to participate in Georgian politics.

"First of all, I should remind the public once again that when we talk about convicted Saakashvili, he was the commander-in-chief, including the head of state of this country, and everyone should remember well that this person willingly renounced his Georgian citizenship. Today this person is not a citizen of Georgia and he has no legal leverage to participate in Georgian politics. He is not a political member of this party either. Therefore, what we have always said is confirmed once again, that the National Movement is a political union informally managed, including by a citizen of a foreign state, which I think is a clear example of what a political party should not be. The population of Georgia will probably, once again, pass a rather harsh political verdict on the informally managed political union. Regarding his health condition and his statements, I will tell you one thing that I wish him the best of health. Regarding the transfer, I will tell you that as soon as there is a recommendation from the doctors, he will certainly be transferred to a penitentiary institution," said the Minister.
