In scientific literature, all this is called a “mafia state” - Ivanishvili’s regime wants to present everything under Irakli Kobakhidze’s leadership as if a new government has come to power and they have no connection to what happened before, - this was stated by “Coalition for Change” member Vano Tsereteli in the “Palitra News” program “Day’s Newsroom,” commenting on the fact that, according to the Prosecutor's Office, journalist Eliso Kiladze has been detained in the so-called call center case, while charges in the same case will be brought in absentia against former Prosecutor General Otar Partskhaladze.

As Vano Tsereteli noted, Bidzina Ivanishvili is destroying everyone and everything that currently resists or hinders the adoption of specific decisions.

“Here is a classic example - in scientific literature, this is called a ‘mafia state.’ The fact is that Ivanishvili’s regime wants to present everything under Irakli Kobakhidze’s leadership as if a new government has come to power and they have no connection to what happened before. Autocracy does not work otherwise. Bidzina Ivanishvili’s regime was built by Ivanishvili himself - everything, including such large-scale cases, did not happen without him. How can you imagine that someone had so-called call centers or some kind of money-making enterprise and Bidzina Ivanishvili did not know about it? Now Ivanishvili knows that he needs to do something to prolong his existence until he manages to strike a deal with some European country or the United States. That is his goal.

Ivanishvili is destroying and annihilating the very system on which he ultimately stands. These are: former prime ministers, ministers, ‘Partskhaladzes,’ who created this system under Ivanishvili’s blessing, or people like Eliso Kiladze - God knows why she got involved in this.

The law enforcement system and the judiciary serve only to preserve Ivanishvili’s financial empire and violent system. Ivanishvili is now destroying everyone and everything that currently resists or hinders the adoption of specific decisions,” - noted Vano Tsereteli.

In addition, he assessed the questioning of former Vice Prime Minister Levan Davitashvili at the SSS Anti-Corruption Agency and the SSS statement on the same topic, noting that “here too, only one principle is at work: Ivanishvili has moved on to the foundation of his own regime.”

According to him, “Ivanishvili operates on the principle of ‘throwing out the barrel’ in order to instill fear so that no one organizes a conspiracy against him during the transitional period.”

“The only thing that can save him is the consolidation of fear in Georgia. The consolidation of fear not only among those who do not recognize him, but also within his own circle. He operates on the principle of ‘throwing out the barrel’ in order to instill fear so that no one organizes a conspiracy against him during the transitional period - as we saw in the case of Maduro. He acts on the principle of ‘throwing out the barrel’ to cover up the issues that undermine him. We are awaiting the conclusion of the OSCE experts; we see how the degree of his illegitimacy is deepening. They went to the Munich Conference to show that they are talking to Western countries, and ended up at the table with Kazakhstan. The fact is that Ivanishvili boasted that he would arrange relations with the Western world, but he cannot do so - this needs to be covered up. These new stories come so fast that the old ones have not even cooled down; he needs to create managed chaos to prolong his stay,” - notes Vano Tsereteli and adds that “what Ivanishvili fears most is the complete loss of legitimacy within his own team, and by arresting members of his own team, a crack has already appeared.”
