The statements are mostly blackmail and coordinated by what we call the "Global War Party" - the owners of our current opposition; I think that the blackmail did not work, on the contrary - what I see and go to the regions, the mobilization is greater, the society is aware, - said the honorary chairman of "Georgian Dream", Bidzina Ivanishvili.

As he noted, such statements that are "incorrect and non-objective" cause public irritation. According to him, the punishment and sanctions also produced the opposite result. According to Ivanishvili, this did not work and will not work.

"Society is more annoyed by such statements, which are incorrect and often go beyond objectivity. It doesn't work and it didn't work. What they wanted, in my opinion, it produced the opposite result.

As for punishment and sanctioning, that's what it will do, I think that it also backfired and didn't work, couldn't work and won't work. Are we waiting for that or not? - Personally, I'm not waiting anymore. I think that what they could do and what they wanted to do, they exhausted it, it didn't work, I tell the public with absolute confidence, because I am busy with it 24 hours a day and I know the regions and the city well - everything backfired, for an elementary reason, because this there was all kinds of blackmail based on non-objective information," Bidzina Ivanishvili said in an interview with "Imedi" TV.
