According to the Mayor of the capital, Kakha Kaladze, the father of Giorgi Kochorashvili, a football player of the national team, represents the National Movement.

As he told journalists, Roin Kochorashvili is a member of the former Prime Minister, Giorgi Gakharia's party.

"Why are you surprised? What's the problem? Roin Kochorashvili represents the National Movement. He is a member of the Gakharia party. You know this better than me and what is surprising about it?" Kaladze said.

When asked what it means when a player says that he wants Europe, Kaladze explained that everyone wants Europe. Of course we all want Europe. Do you think I don't want Europe? First of all, I want Europe in Georgia. We have to live like a European. It implies fairness, acceptance of dissent, freedom of speech and expression, protection of property rights, freedom of business. These are the basic principles we follow and adhere to. When we say that we want Europe and a European future, this does not mean giving up our country and statehood. Why did we fight? - In order to be independent, free. I repeat once again - if someone thinks that replacing one master with another is democracy, it is not," Kaladze said.

For information, a march was held yesterday in the capital in connection with the "Transparency of Foreign Influence" bill. Georgian national team player Giorgi Kochorashvili responded to the march in Tbilisi on social media. He posted a photo taken at the rally. In addition, Giorgi Kochorashvili's father wrote a Facebook post, which noted that Georgia's path is going to Europe.
