The opposition responded with rigid statements regarding the transfer of Vakhtang Gomelauri`s Deputy to the Ministry of Justice. The ruling team claims that their opponents are traditionally populist and that there is nothing special in this staff change because Aleksandre Tabatadze was transferred from the Justice Ministry to State Security in his time. The opposition is convinced that the transfer of Tabatadze to the Ministry of Justice is the strengthening of the State Security. The main function of the former deputy of Vakhtang Gomelauri at the Ministry of Justice is control of penitentiary establishments .
Opposition members say that the transfer of Tabatadze is part of Ivanishvili"s personnel policy, which he has built on obedience to him only.
"The only logic that Ivanishvili uses during his personnel policy is the subordination of human beings to him and loyalty to Ivanishvili, Golamauri will send his deputy to Tea Tsulukiani and in his competence will be the control of the penitentiary system, which means that the State Security is trying to retain control over the penitentiary system , "- said Irma Nadirashvili.
