This decision indicates that the irreversibility of democratic processes should be ensured not by any particular person, but by independent institutions. Such a statement made Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Chairman of the Georgian Dream faction, while commenting the decision of Bidzina Ivanishvili to leave politics.

“Humanely for me and, I am sure, for all my teammates, his decision is disappointing. This human factor is worth to be mentioned. In my opinion, Bidzina Ivanishvili is a person who has ensured the irreversible process of democratic development in this country.

He decided today that no one, including himself, should drive the main factor in the process of irreversible democratic development. A combination of independent, democratic institutions should provide this. This is a greater challenge for us, but we will handle it.

Our country will continue its democratic development, the path that the Georgian people have taken since 2012 under the leadership of Ivanishvili”, - said Mamuka Mdinaradze.
