Rasa Juknevičienė: We see that the Georgian Government is becoming more and more like a puppet of the Kremlin
Sergi Kapanadze on Gharibashvili's statement: This is an open rejection of the European course
Ana Natsvlishvili: The speaker of the ruling party says that Georgia is not ready for the European Union, only two people say this, Russia and "Dream" - so what is Georgia ready for, according to "Dream"?!
Andrius Kubilius on Gharibashvili's statement - who is not ready to join the European Union, Georgian people or "Georgian Dream"? - The answer is clear
Irakli Gharibashvili: Today we are not ready to become a EU member country, There is no consensus, it will take time - the EU is not ready for enlargement either
Irakli Gharibashvili: How can a representative of the National Movement talk to me about European integration? They used brooms against young people
Irakli Gharibashvili: I want to appeal to young people, don't you remember what was the situation in the country before 2012? - Only the elite could travel to Europe
Khatia Dekanoidze to Mamuka Mdinaradze: Are you, the majority, along with Ivanishvili, ready to refuse EU integration in exchange for the law?

Paata Manjgaladze: I am waiting for Shalva Papuashvili to make a speech and when he will expose the Secretary General of NATO, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe and the UN in hostile actions against Georgia - when the UN, NATO, the EU and the European Council tell you that the law is anti-European, anti-Russian, who should tell us more?
Irakli Gharibashvili: Melia-Gvaramia, the unification of these worthless people, Lelo, National Movement, people know that these are the branches of one party, big, evil hostile force - we should win convincingly
Irakli Gharibashvili: We are a small, but proud nation, we should be able to protect our interests – March 31 was declared as Transgender Day in the US, transgenders are brought to schools, kindergartens, children are told that they can change gender, do you like it?
Irakli Gharibashvili: Today we have a proud court, we will not allow anyone to interfere in Georgian justice and the judicial system
Irakli Gharibashvili: We must win the elections strongly - the threat of the "second front" has not gone anywhere, so it is necessary to lead the country to peace in a reasonable, calm and firm manner
Irakli Gharibashvili: How can anyone believe that Nika Gvaramia is creating a new party?! The Georgian people are wise and cannot be deceived by these destructive, hostile forces
