Beka Odisharia: Bullying of athletes is shameful - we do not write "losers" on the list, we include only successful people, unlike the marginal opposition

Bullying towards sportsmen is shameful - we do not write "losers" in the list, we only write successful people, unlike the marginal opposition, "Georgian Dream" MP Beka Odisharia told journalists about the platoon of the "Georgian Dream" election list.

According to him, people's trust and love towards athletes is very great.

"The bullying of athletes is shameful. Athletes are those people who best understand the value of work and who have achieved great success at the cost of their work. People's trust and love for these people is very high. Society consists of athletes, musicians, creators, engineers, economists, and what is incomprehensible that a few people represent their field in the Parliament of Georgia and strive to improve the situation in Georgian sports in general?" Odisharia noted.

As Odisharia explained, the presence of successful people in the "Georgian Dream" list is a very natural phenomenon.

"We do not write "losers" in the list, we only write successful people, unlike the marginal opposition. Therefore, the presence of successful people in the list of "Georgian Dream" is a very natural phenomenon", he explained.

As for the question regarding Bidzina Ivanishvili, number one on the party's election list, the deputy noted that her presence on the list is natural.

"I think that the presence of Bidzina Ivanishvili is very natural. A person is in politics, an unconditional leader and authority for "Georgian Dream" and our thousands of supporters. Therefore, everyone's desire and his corresponding decision was that he should be the first number on the electoral list. "Georgian Dream" has 60%, which is largely due to Bidzina Ivanishvili's return to politics. What is surprising here?", Odisharia said.

To the question whether Bidzina Ivanishvili will be a candidate for Prime Minister, Odisharia answered that he will definitely become a member of the parliament, and whether Bidzina Ivanishvili, Irakli Kobakhidze or others will hold positions, decisions will be made in the future.

"Of course, these consultations will be held very soon, in the dates close to the elections, and maybe the political council, the prime minister himself will announce such decisions. Until the leaders of the party and the members of the political council do not say, I will refrain from such comments", said Odisharia.

For information, "Georgian Dream" presented the first platoon of the election list. The Prime Minister named Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairperson of Georgian Dream, as the number one on the list. Athletes Geno Petriashvili and Lasha Talakhadze are also in the first squad.
