Shalva Papuashvili
Shalva Papuashvili: I expected Pawel Herczynski to express his regret over the Embassy’s role as an instrument of attack on Justice, but Instead We Heard That It is necessary to check the judges – It is the NGOs and Nino Lomjaria who should be checked
Mamuka Mdinaradze: The collective National Movement, through the mouth of Nino Lomjaria, had to make a historical admission that no representative party of the radical opposition, apart from the National Movement, can cross the electoral barrier
Irakli Kobakhidze: It is an axiomatic truth that Gakharia is a traitor - we have no questions why he acted at the behest of Lomjaria on June 20 - don't to get too involved in the debates and play Tik Tok with Buchukuri and Liluashvili, who are counting the last months of the parliamentarian game
Irakli Kobakhidze: UNM is collapsing, and according to our observation, this is not accidental, I think this is the task that Kezerashvili is performing - the plan is to bring down UNM in order to bring another political force forward
Irakli Kobakhidze: It is a fact that the decision to pardon Mikheil Saakashvili has not been on the agenda - this man had been dying for two years, it was impossible to revive him, although we see that he revived, he is not dying anymore
Irakli Kobakhidze: Salome Zurabishvili herself provided us with another proof that she really should not have been allowed to go to Europe
Public Defender to present an annual report in the Parliament today
Gia Volski: Zurabishvili should at least explain to people what she brought from the visits, which she held without agreement, in violation of the constitution
Former Public Defender Nino Lomjaria founds public platform - European Orbit of Georgia
Irakli Kobakhidze: Our principle is simple - no member of the National Movement in any body and we will act according to this principle in the future as well
Nino Lomjaria: I would tell my fellow citizens, stand on the right side of history - it is a very important moment
Paata Manjgaladze: Strategy Builder expressed no confidence towards the selection process of the Public Defender - it is a farce that serves to push the government's preferred candidate
Kelly Degnan: Whoever is the next Public Defender is someone who's qualified, who's independent, who's courageous
Irakli Kobakhidze on Nino Lomjaria: She was practically everything except the Public Defender
Nino Lomjaria: A prisoner in Mikheil Saakashvili's condition can be subjected to at least a postponement of the sentence - the judge can also visit the prisoner, familiarize himself with the situation and assess the situation, so I am hopeful
Nino Lomjaria completes her term as a Public Defender
Nino Lomjaria: Mikheil Saakashvili's condition allows for a postponement of the sentence - I will try to submit the opinion of the friend of the court before the end of my term, by December 8
Public Defender and members of the medical council visited Mikheil Saakashvili
Levan Dolidze - Instead of focusing on the steps that should bring us further progress, we are creating new barriers on the path to the EU
