If the door gets closed there is a feeling that something needs to be hidden - Tina Khidasheli talks about "Rustavi 2" case

Politicians respond to the information that on Monday the Supreme Court will review complaint by Rustavi2.

The majority are convinced that the decision will be taken objectively and categorically rule out the possibility of a political motive.

"It is important that we maintain a high standard of media freedom, which in recent years has been noted in a number of international reports, on the other hand is also important to have the implementation of the right to a fair trial. So, let`s wait for the court`s decision, "- said Archil Talakvadze.

Unlike the Georgian Dream, the opposition is critical. They are focusing on the existing question marks - one of them is decision of the court not to have an oral hearing.

"The parties will not be represented at the hearing, which is an indicator that the case will not be conducted according to the law and the Constitution and the Supreme Court is going to continue the same line. This line is a continuation of an attack at Rustavi 2 ," - said one of the leaders of the UNM, Otar Kakhidze.

Former Defense Minister Tina Khidasheli believes that when the government is not using the tools of publicity, it gives basis for raising many questions.

"We have changed the law because and allowed cameras in the court room to stop these speculations , so when the government does not use the key instruments for publicity and transparency, the impression is that something is to be hidden behind the door, if the door is closed, "-Tina Khidasheli
