If we literally see Salome Zurabishvili clinging to her chair, this will cause nothing but ridicule in the Georgian public, - Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili told journalists when speaking about President Salome Zurabishvili’s departure from the Presidential Palace.

According to him, Salome Zurabishvili and her advisor will not take such a step.

“This has already become a ridiculous topic. I don’t know if the public will have the opportunity to see the figurative expression “someone clinging to the chair ” realized for the first time in history. If we literally see Salome Zurabishvili clinging to her chair, this will cause nothing but ridicule in the Georgian public. But I do not think that either Ms. Salome or her advisor will take such a step. Everyone understands that radical extremists cannot stand against the Georgian society and the state,” the Speaker of the Parliament said.

In addition, Papuashvili spoke about the ongoing opposition consultations with Salome Zurabishvili and noted that this is part of the introduction of extremism.

“This is part of the introduction of extremism, which we see in excess. It is a process managed from the outside. We saw foreign politicians standing in front of the Georgian Parliament, directly calling on Salome Zurabishvili and the radical opposition to switch to the Maidan scenario," Papuashvili said.
