I could not call it repression, it is more prevention than repression, - this is how the Prime Minister responds to the searches conducted by the police in the opposition parties.
According to Kobakhidze, the citizens at the rally were supplied with pyrotechnics by the relevant political forces.
"Also, today, we saw that when the Ministry of Internal Affairs, relevant agencies entered the party offices, relevant materials were removed from there. Moreover, rather than entering at all, when the relevant operation started, one of the opposition leaders, for example, Elene Khoshtariya, came out directly and said in advance that they were buying pyrotechnics and continued to buy these pyrotechnics. Actually, with this, these political parties have directly admitted, they have admitted before with a public statement, but now, today, they have already admitted directly that the entire party resource is behind this systematic brutal violence. There is a famous group "Daitove", which is a group created by supposedly sincere young people. The so-called the administrator of this group turned out to be a seasoned "Nationalist", who used to visit Saakashvili in Ukraine, etc. There is nothing sincere here. There are completely party interests, the interest to change the government through violence, and all this is already at hand today.
I could not call it repression, it is more prevention than repression. As for the connection, it is a fact, one thing is confirmed - people were systematically supplied with pyrotechnics and other means by the relevant political forces. This is absolutely clear and it lies right in the palm of your hand," said Kobakhidze.
For information, the police searched the offices of several opposition parties and civil activists. According to the reports of the parties, during the search, law enforcement officers removed eggs and fireworks.
