It should be said that on the one hand, “Gavrilov’s Night” was a legitimate protest and there was the use of force by the police, although this was not a case of systemic violence. [As for Merabishvili], in 2007, Saakashvili cunningly resigned and received a new mandate. In this case, the political process defused the situation, - one of the leaders of Gakharia for Georgia, Dimitri Tskitishvili, stated on PalitraNews, thereby responding to the statement of the Georgian Dream political council and the assessment of the ruling team regarding the fact that former Ministers of Internal Affairs Vano Merabishvili and Giorgi Gakharia are favorite figures of the “Global War Party” and “Deep State”.
As for the sanctions against the leaders of the Georgian Dream government, including Interior Minister Vakhtang Gomelauri, according to Dimitri Tskitishvili, the "Magnitsky List", which includes the leadership of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs, is significantly hindering the country's European integration process, and the government is deliberately trying to sabotage the country's European integration process.
“The "Magnitsky List", which includes the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is damaging. I think that the leadership of the Georgian Dream is not interested in European integration and this process is being sabotaged. On the other hand, they do not want the restrictions that are imposed on them and their family members. It is unpleasant that the “de facto ruler”, who came to power in 2012 with great victories and promises of a new wave of democracy, has been accused of collaborating with Russian special services,” said Dimitri Tskitishvili.
As for the part of today’s statement of the Georgian Dream political council regarding the goals of the “Global War Party” and the “metastases” of the “Deep State”, according to Tskitishvili, the Georgian Dream theory of the “Global War Party” has taken a certain part of society “into captivity”.
“They make us live in a mythological process”, he said.
“The unifying factor of Georgian Dream is material well-being, and these sanctions are hitting their well-being. It would have been good if they had adjusted their political activities after these sanctions. January 20 is coming and nothing will change, and then they will say that Donald Trump has also fallen under the “Global War Party” and the “Deep State”, - said Dimitri Tskitishvili.
The politician also responded to the statement of French President Emmanuel Macron, where he speaks about the strengthening of Russia's aggressive policy.
According to Tskitishvili, Russia has switched to new hybrid warfare methods, which has failed in Europe, although the government in Georgia has allowed it.
"The fact is that Russia is using new hybrid warfare methods. We see such processes in Europe as well, although the government in Georgia has allowed Russia to do so.
As for the new elections in Georgia, as happened in several European countries, the Georgian Dream knows very well that it will no longer be able to use the same resources that it used in the elections. In reality, they are afraid that they will not be able to win elections. The real protests have brought the government to a dead end, and it is impossible to cope with this by force, and against the background of the accompanying crises, they will have to make concessions, and this was caused by the stubborn protest of the Georgian society," said Dimitri Tskitishvili.
