Tamar Chergoleishvili: Nika Melia accuses Saakashvili of trying to make a deal with "Georgian Dream," with Grigol Vashadze being one of the instruments - Saakashvili allegedly proposed: "I will stop the party, just let me out of prison"
Kakha Kemoklidze: Georgian Dream is not interested in the August War but rather in shifting the focus from the political crisis to the investigative commission – and Grigol Vashadze is more a part of Georgian Dream than the opposition
Tazo Datunashvili: Why didn't our hands wither when we voted for Grigol Vashadze in 2018? What he said in the commission is harmful to the state—let it be on his conscience
Nika Melia: Grigol Vashadze and Tsulukiani reminded me of March, April, and May of 2022, "Georgian Dream" and Grigol Vashadze's visits to Mikheil Saakashvili - the time will come, and the public will learn many things
Grigol Vashadze, in response to Tea Tsulukiani’s question about whether what Saakashvili was doing was madness and recklessness, said:  I cannot agree with you - Madness and recklessness are not characterized by emotionality. It is absolutely impossible that someone from the West told him to engage in a military adventure
Grigol Vashadze stated that "from the president to the attaché, no one ever thought of giving up a part of sovereignty to anyone" - To this, Tea Tsulukiani responded: Don't swear on that—Saakashvili might have thought about it
Grigol Vashadze on Mikhail Karel's statement in response to Tea Tsulukiani's question: I respect the commission, so I will not use the words I want to. I have never heard such nonsense

Mzia Amaglobeli's lawyers are petitioning the court to lift the detention order
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
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
A Korean tamada: Opening of the Korean Embassy in Tbilisi
Israeli Ambassador to Georgia - Our strategy is not to have Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip - Unfortunately, the UN cooperates with Hamas, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch work in favor of Hamas
