According to Salome Samadashvili, one of the leaders of Lelo-Strong Georgia, the initiatives of Vice Prime Minister and State Minister for Coordination of Law Enforcement Structures Mamuka Mdinaradze are “absurd.”

As Samadashvili noted on Palitranews, Mdinaradze is trying to demonstrate his political importance and show the public that he still plays an important role in the government.

“I think Mdinaradze needs to justify his existence. He was given an incomprehensible position so that he wouldn’t be sent home. It seems that he is trying to show people that someone needs him. I assume that this is his initiative. It is absolutely absurd, just like the law that was adopted in 2025 and cannot be enforced. The creation of the so-called enforcement mechanism is equally absurd,” Samadashvili said.

According to him, under the current policy, the government may need to “build camps” instead of prisons.

“Then they should build camps, not prisons, as in Belarus. They have so many people imprisoned that no prison is enough. Therefore, I can give Mamuka Mdinaradze, not jokingly, advice that he should first contact the Minister of Infrastructure, Rezo Sokhadze, and tell him to build camps for prisoners,” Samadashvili said.

According to Samadashvili, the only way out of the current situation is a political reset and holding new elections.

According to her, the sooner the government realizes this necessity, it will be able to overcome the crisis with less political and economic losses.

“I understand that the Georgian Dream is in a difficult situation. They are in a deadlock both politically and economically, they cannot get out of international isolation, the sooner they realize that the only way out of this is a political reset and new elections, the less losses they will suffer while getting out of this deadlock,” Samadashvili said.

Speaking on the issue of relations with the West, Salome Samadashvili said that the ruling team is trying to improve relations with the West without fulfilling the demands that Georgia’s Western partners expect. According to Samadashvili, the government is considering this process in a “trading mode.”

“As for resetting relations, everything here depends on what steps the regime is ready to take, which turned out to be not ready for any steps. Bidzina Ivanishvili, on the one hand, wants to reset, but he wants to do it in a way that does not take any steps in the direction that our Western partners expect. He is in the process of bargaining. I think that Ivanishvili does not understand the context well. He does not see that he is close to the limit when many have run out of patience,” Samadashvili said.
