European Georgia chairman
Giga Bokeria
Speaker of Parliament of Georgia
Shalva Papuashvili
Former President of Georgia
Mikheil Saakashvili
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
Lelo - Strong Georgia: Saakashvili’s statement is nothing more than an attempt to fuel tension and confrontation within the opposition
Tazo Datunashvili on Mikheil Saakashvili’s statement: Throwing mud achieves nothing - it is very sad to see the architect of the Rose Revolution and one of the authors of independent Georgia fall this low
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
Irakli Kupradze - We heard Mariam Kvrivishvili's confusing statement that the Anaklia port will receive ships in 2032 - Ivanishvili and the anti-Georgian Dream intend to further delay and postpone the construction of Anaklia
Badri Japaridze - At the meeting with Sonata Coulter, we talked about the importance of the US for Georgia's security and economic development - their involvement in the construction of the deep-sea port is also a security issue
Irakli Kupradze - The opposition has the strength to defeat Ivanishvili through elections, but the efforts of Lelo will not be enough, this requires mobilization - Ivanishvili is not invincible
Badri Japaridze: April 9 is not only a day of sorrow, it is a day of national unity, steadfastness, perseverance, and victory – We are obliged to protect and strengthen the independence we gained at the cost of great sacrifice
Giorgi Vashadze - Do you really believe that they will build the Anaklia port? - I know the DNA of the Georgian Dream, they are liars - they will not reset anything with anyone, neither with people, nor with America, nor with Europe
Grigol Gegelia - Anaklia Port should be built with American, not Russian-Chinese, obscure capital, and Ivanishvili's meeting with Aliyev showed that the state has atrophied and there is no difference between Bidzina's apartment and the Cabinet of Ministers
According to the first quarter data, Georgian Dream received 980,000 GEL in donations, Lelo - 146,000, Freedom Square - 46,745 - National Movement did not receive any donations during the period.
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
Giorgi Vashadze on the so-called sabotage case - There is a blank sheet in my case, on which is indicated the name, surname and article, nothing more - we are dealing with a great absurdity, there is no evidence
