Dimitri Shashkini: Jens Stoltenberg's visit was very important, especially since he talked about the upcoming elections - if Mikheil Saakashvili is in prison, the elections will not be considered democratic
Mikheil Saakashvili: Along with Kalashov, FSB released his right-hand man, which proves that their future task is the elections - we should expect Rafaliantsi-type provocations and unprecedented mobilization of "blacks"
Levan Khabeishvili: Ivanishvili, Kobakhidze, Mdinaradze are obliged to answer to the citizens, how it happens that the price of fuel is twice in Georgia!

Vaso Urushadze: "Georgian Dream" and Bidzina Ivanishvili use the state budget, which belongs to the people, for personal welfare
Giorgi Botkoveli: Overcoming the veto has become a "challenge" for "Georgian Dream" - if they do something against the rule of law and overcome the veto, that gives them some additional satisfaction
Salome Samadashvili: Overriding the veto will be another signal from Georgian Dream that they oppose our country's accession to the European Union
Mikheil Saakashvili to the EPP Congress: This year will be decisive for the fate of a large part of Europe in many ways - it is not a time for hesitation and complacency, it is a time for leadership, unity, courage and determination
