Yesterday, on Rustaveli Avenue, we saw an associate of Gorbachev, a politician from the “Perestroika” era, who speaks to us with a Russian accent about democracy and teaches the Georgian people. Such a statement made today the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament.

“We see that for some reason the Baltic representatives, the post-Soviet politicians, stand out in particular, whom we thought would be the people who would understand the Georgian people the most.

I don’t know what we did to these people, why they want to harm it. The fact is obvious - the post-Soviet politicians stand out in particular.

We saw one of them yesterday on Rustaveli Avenue, an associate of [Mikhail] Gorbachev, a politician from the “Perestroika” period, who is talking to us here with a Russian accent about democracy and teaching the Georgian people wisdom. A person who is the protector of Mikheil Saakashvili and has been working all this time to somehow get Mikheil Saakashvili out of prison.

This is the person, Mrs. Rasa [Juknevičienė] I mean, who recently stated that the problems that some Europeans are causing Georgia are the fault of the Georgian people. The fault of the people who supported the Georgian Dream. Therefore, in the eyes of this person, the voter of the Georgian Dream should be expelled from this country altogether. Therefore, when such a person tries to interfere in the country’s politics, it is clear that he has no good intentions.

On the other hand, this shameful spectacle, which we have already seen on Rustaveli Avenue for several times, which the opposition has turned into a ritual of belittling the Georgian nation, when there is a shouting match and idolization of uninformed foreign reporters. This has nothing to do with sovereignty”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
