Metropolitan of Chkondondi assesses accusations as his deliberate discreditation. 

In the opinion of Metropolitan Petre, it is an attempt to mislead the public, including the Patriarch.
According to him, together with the clergy, the representatives of the government are also engaged in the cyanide case.

The clergy of the high hierarchy claims that it is about the personal life of a politician and not a clergyman and the government is trying to save a member of his team by covering the truth.
