When I was a representative of the government, I did not hide like today, if there was a conflict somewhere, I was on the front line. I was not partying, while people were being harassed, I was there - Giorgi Gakharia, the leader of "Gakharia for Georgia", stated this at a briefing held at the party's office.

Gakharia also responded to the statement of the public defender, where Levan Ioseliani talks about him and noted that it is better for the public defender to protect the citizens arrested at the rally.

"As one of the leaders of the opposition, I take responsibility for everything I do and speak and what I call for. When I was a representative of the government, I didn't hide like today, I went and talked to people when they needed me. If there was a conflict somewhere, I was on the front line. I wasn't partying, but when people were being chased, I was there and I was always the first. I didn't blame my subordinates and my colleagues, I didn't have any responsibility for them, I took this responsibility on myself. I will do the same now. I am fully responsible for what I say and what I do.

Today, there is Ivanishvili's law in Georgia. There is neither a constitution nor a law in Georgia. For example, the public defender, a disgraceful man, who has now lost his temper. They told him from the party, they called him, now we also see your swearing, move a little, shake something. Instead of standing with people and standing in the middle, he does some stupid things because he is a public defender who has such a large mandate. If you ask today, some arrested people have not been brought yet, no one knows where they are, they are stuck somewhere in the middle of the road, no one knows whether they will be taken to Zugdidi or Telavi, trials are held without lawyers, and people come out of there beaten. He should not answer me, he should do his own work. We all know what this infamous public defender was elected for. He was elected to "disrupt" the first election, which he already did. And he was elected to "disrupt" the election, which he tried to do. Did he do that, did he take money for it? Let him go and protect the children at least! I will not hear his voice a second time. And the answer!" said Giorgi Gakharia.

For information, Levan Ioseliani responded to Giorgi Gakharia's statement on social network two days ago. He called Gakharia a liar because of the spread of the information where the leader of "Gakharia for Georgia" announced that dozens of people of his party are arrested and the public defender is not doing anything.
