Melia is a valuable politician - Lelo will cooperate with everyone who believes that we need to defeat the Russian regime, but the future does not mean the restoration of the one-party rule of the National Movement party, Lel­o MP Salome Samadashvili said about this.

According to Samadashvili, Melia has shown over the past years that he is an important player in the opposition field.

"Nika Melia, I think, is an important player in the opposition field over the past years. We remember that he repeatedly fought with great dedication for the future of this country. That's why I think he is a valuable politician, I wish him success. I can't tell you what specific plans he has for his own party. As for Lelo­'s position, it is known - our main task today is to strengthen our party, at the same time Lel­o has always said and still says today that we are ready to cooperate with all politicians and political parties that share Lelo­'s vision, that we need to defeat the Russian regime, but the future does not mean a return to the past, that is, it does not mean the restoration of the one-party rule of the United Natio­nal Movement in the country," said Samadashvili.

For information, Nika Melia made a statement about leaving the United Natio­nal Movement yesterday. In addition, as Melia stated, he is founding a new party that will "do a lot for Georgian democracy".
