It seems that this story has one conductor, said Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Chairman of the Georgian Dream, while talking about the planned meeting regarding the selection procedure of the Public Defender.

“The apparatus had a confirmation from the United National Movement that Khatia Dekanoidze would attend this meeting, but later we learned through public information that it was canceled. It was very strange when different opposition parties – [Giorgi] Vashadze’s political party and UNM had the same opinion about the absence.

We also had confirmation from Lelo. But if Usupashvili also said that he would not attend, this cluster emerged once again - UNM, Lelo and Strategy Aghmashenebeli act together by the decision of one conductor.

The refusal to participate in the meeting is an illustration of the fact that the mentioned part of the opposition refuses to fulfill one of the points of the European recommendations.

Street protests were mentioned, and this seems to help fulfill the first point - of course, this is an irony, given that there is no sign of depolarization in their actions. They do not want to follow these recommendations. No steps are taken to implement these recommendations. Today’s confirmation of participation in the meeting in the morning and then not coming is an illustration of the fact that they are refusing to fulfill one of the points in this particular case”, - said Mamuka Midnaradze.
