Just as we left the opposition smiling with various decisions in 2020, 2021, 2022, they will also remain smiling with the decisions that the parliament will make at different times. It will emerge among them, - the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, said in response to a question at the briefing, whether "Georgian Dream" intends to cancel the mandates of the opposition in the event of an appeal.
At the same time, Papuashvili is sure that, as after the 2020 parliamentary elections, at least all opposition parties will enter the parliament now.
"We are not talking in advance about the decisions that are acceptable in the future, let's see what the opposition will do first. In general, this is a separate circus performance, which we observe and see in reality - a disgraced opposition, which the Georgian people gave their rightful place, as a group that intended to surrender this country to foreign groups and impose the will of others on this country. Now let's see how they will behave, it is interesting what they will do. In today's situation, it is unthinkable that they entered the parliament, but let's see, such incredible things also happened in the past, and what they called "poofness", in the end, they did it themselves. What was in the interests of our country, we acted in the same way in 2020 and we will act in the same way now. If they want to ask us to terminate their mandates, there is still a long time before that. Until then, everyone was convinced that they cannot open the lists, they will become members of the Parliament of Georgia. Among them, their salary will increase, which they did not support. I also wonder if they will come, if they get the increased salary or not, how they will behave. I told you they have no dignity in fact, we saw it in 2021 when they demanded the recovery of the withheld wages in order to deposit huge sums of money into their accounts.
Just as we left the opposition smiling with various decisions in 2020, 2021, 2022, they will also remain smiling with the decisions that the parliament will make at different times.
In the end, everyone will enter the parliament, just as everyone was arranged and entered, and they will enter now, if they give this instruction. This is not their wish - if it was done according to their wishes and plans, we would have seen other actions and we would have seen tents spread out yesterday.
In addition to another question, whether they intend to ban the opposition again, Papuashvili noted that the opposition can ban itself even without the intervention of the ruling power.
"Let's wait for the events, maybe the opposition will ban itself." Let's see what decision they will make, our decision may not be needed at all, so the opposition will ban itself. We promised this to our citizens and our citizens saw how the opposition was fragmented, we really fulfilled this one promise, which is to weaken the "National Movement", and as for the cancellation, watch the events, maybe they will cancel themselves," Papuashvili said.
