Kakha Kaladze: Well, dare someone in Europe or America to talk to the police like some of the participants of the rally, see what they will do, they will break them to the bones - don't think that today is the government of Shevardnadze's time

Well, if someone in any European country or America dares to talk to a policeman the way some protestors did yesterday, see what they will do, they will break them to the bone - don't think that it is today, sorry, and the government of Shevardnadze's time. Today, Georgia has a law-abiding government, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze told reporters when he spoke about the disbandment of the November 28 rally.

According to Kaladze, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs maintain order and ensure people's safety.

"No one has the right to come to the policeman, who protects public order, swear, spit, throw bottles and stones, no one has the right to do that. This will always be followed by an appropriate response. Well, dare someone in any European country or in America to talk to a policeman the way some protestors did yesterday, see what they will do, they will break them to the bone", said Kakha Kaladze.

At the same time, Kaladze answered the question about the journalists beaten by the police: "Being a journalist does not mean that you cover everything and insult some people."

At the same time, the mayor of Tbilisi called "nonsense" the spread information, according to which the water cannon used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to disperse the protesters was probably filled with chemical agents.

"What are you thinking, what chemical, don't talk some nonsense, wait a minute. Freedom of speech and expression is protected in this country. Everyone has the right to express their protest in different ways, but it should be within the law. No matter who he is, whether he is a journalist, a businessman, even a politician, if he goes beyond the framework of the law, there will always be an appropriate response. There is no problem with a peaceful protest, but as soon as people appear, they insult the police, swear, throw bottles, stones. What do you think? Will it remain unanswered? We live in a country where freedom of speech and expression is protected, and also, of course, this has its own framework, there is a law, as soon as we violate it, there will be an appropriate response," said Kaladze.

On the reply that the special forces directly mentioned the names of the journalists at the rally, Kaladze sarcastically asked: "In Russian or in Georgian?" Even better, even better [in Georgian] it's so cool, do you know Russian too? Maybe in English too", Kaladze answered the journalist.

In addition, according to him, there are footages where it is shown that the police are being insulted.

"Freedom of expression does not mean insulting a police officer. There are tons of shots of this. Of course, there will always be a response, and no offense will go unanswered. Don't think that today is the government of Shevardnadze's time. Today, Georgia has a government that protects the law, human rights, freedom of speech and expression, but this does not mean that you run over a policeman, insult, curse, throw bottles, stones. It won't work out that way, friends. Everything has a limit," Kaladze says.
