Speaker of Parliament of Georgia
Shalva Papuashvili
Public Defender of Georgia
Nino Lomjaria
President of Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili
Shalva Papuashvili on the opposition: if this is Europe, you should not go to work, then we cannot agree with some foreigners - we understand Europe in the way that the salary they receive from citizens should be used to implement the mandate
The parliamentary opposition will not attend the plenary sessions of the current week due to a political boycott
Grigol Vashadze leaves the Parliament
Shalva Papuashvili: 2 years after the war, Mikheil Saakashvili and Grigol Vashadze participated in the Astana summit, where not only Lavrov but also Vladimir Putin participated - so now saying that it is impossible to talk together with the occupier in the same hall and space is absolute hypocrisy
Paata Manjgaladze: Georgian Dream and the Constitutional Court said that the President is a pitcher that echoes everything that the government says - then why do we need a president at all?!
Prime Minister: I want to express my surprise, why they sanctioned Partskhaladze, it is inexplicable to me - there are no known facts that he has done anything to the detriment of the interests of our country and to the benefit of the interests of other countries, he is a businessman
Paata Manjgaladze: We are ready for any compromise, if necessary, we will participate in the elections with the number "5"
TI Georgia: In 2022, 126 MPs exercised their right to speak, 18 MPs did not use this right at all, 99 MPs used the right to legislative initiative
TI Georgia: 18 MPs had not used their right to deliver a speech in the Parliament during 2022
Over 130 former high political and administrative officials call on authorities to transfer Mikheil Saakashvili abroad for treatment
Grigol Vashadze: Saakashvili looks like a sick child, he is weakened, he is just 80 kilos and the leadership of Georgian Dream is laughing at us - are not you Christians?
Grigol Vashadze: The fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service together have almost twice as much funding as the Ministry of Defense is a complete disaster - how long should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be left without attention?
Grigol Vashadze: Saakashvili’s departure from politics will change a lot for the National Movement, the most important chapter will be closed in the history of Georgian politics
Grigol Vashadze: Never ask anything to a person who says that the EU candidate status brings nothing to the state
Grigol Vashadze: All the people who were financial managers in the embassies, when we were in power, have now become ministers - and you see the result!
The political debate scheduled for today in Parliament has been postponed to May 25
Political debates to be held in the Parliament today
Grigol Vashadze: Prime Minister of Georgia is trying to damage the relations between Georgia and Ukraine as much as possible, it's either order or his own initiative
British Ambassador Gareth Ward - Foreign Influence Law damages NGOs and free media in Georgia - It is disproportionate and stifles free speech, as well as stigmatising those who do good for their communities
Estonian Ambassador to Georgia - If we want EU membership, we should all play by the rules - The Georgian Government on the one hand says that they are moving closer to the EU, but their actions do not prove that
