PACE to debate report on Georgia today
Nanuka Zhorzholiani: If the UNM Political Council nominates its own candidate, the election will not be easy; will they really run against Khabeishvili? If political figures had been successfully leading the opposition, what results have they achieved? If I become chairperson, I will raise the issue of leaving the alliance
Nika Gvaramia: Friends, nobody cares about you - there are six of you and seven factions among you - Why do you need additional interference to bring yourselves down? We will not help you survive, and we will not follow you. Do it yourselves if you can - otherwise, Georgia will survive without you
Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly to discuss report on Georgia
Badri Japaridze on the so-called sabotage case: It is impossible to imagine a greater act of sabotage against the state than this case and the political persecution it represents – this process is fabricated and concocted
Prosecutor in the so-called sabotage case: Individuals involved in searches of party offices, as well as a parliamentary representative, will testify today - the case contains numerous pieces of evidence, including video recordings and public statements calling for certain actions
Nika Gvaramia on the so-called sabotage case - Today's session is a session held for the EU and the US - there will be internal trading, to gain legitimacy not through new elections, but by returning the opposition to parliament
Trial of politicians accused of so-called sabotage case underway in Tbilisi City Court - session is closed
Nika Gvaramia: Isn't it interesting that, alongside discussions on suspending the visa-free regime, the disgraceful sabotage case has suddenly been accelerated? The court hearing has been rescheduled to June 11 - now decide for yourselves what Georgian Dream is planning
Nika Melia - The truth is necessary so that no one can behave tomorrow as unworthily as Saakashvili
Mikheil Saakashvili - I left many things coming from Nika Melia without a reaction, I always hoped that something would come of it - in the end I failed and Melia ended up in the same swamp where Okruashvili, Bokeria and some others are already
Levan Bezhashvili on Nika Melia - He never loved Misha and did not hide it, he was even proud of it, but at the same time, he wanted the chairmanship of his party, his voters and votes - the focus needs to be adjusted
Nika Melia: Saakashvili should also explain what issues he cooperated on with ‘that man’ whom he refuses to name, why that person was his envoy to the government, what kind of deal was made through him, and ultimately how Saakashvili himself was ‘deceived’
Nika Melia: For many years, Saakashvili’s jealousy toward me has been choking him like a noose around his neck - for him, lies and shamelessness are ordinary - where Saakashvili is, there is no national interest, only private selfish interest
Nika Melia - I understand that the conditions in prison are difficult, but we all endure it, we don't hear anyone's endless "I, I, I, I" - others must also endure it and not make an allegory of slander
Nika Gvaramia: The ‘Opposition Alliance’ is the same as it has been - I cannot deny there was a disagreement - I remind everyone: when a party leader is in prison, sensitivity is always high - We had a moral obligation to defend Nika Melia
Badri Japaridze - The trial of political leaders on unimaginable, fabricated charges is a fight against statehood - the closure of the hearing is an indication that they do not want the public to know what lies behind the process
Zurab Japaridze - The session was closed so that people wouldn't hear what madness they were talking about - the prosecutor is a person who tells me: I must send you to prison for sanctioning me
