“The problem is not in Saakashvili’s banner, nor in acknowledging that Saakashvili is a political prisoner, but the problem is in rudeness, in hijacking the rally,” one of the founders of the Federalists party, Tamar Chergoleishvili, stated regarding Mikheil Saakashvili’s supporters gathering near the Parliament, where Salome Zourabichvili’s speech is planned.

According to Chergoleishvili, this irritates people and causes confrontation.

“Maybe we should do it in such a way that they don’t hide behind it and don’t try to hijack the rally. The problem is not in Saakashvili’s banner, nor in acknowledging that Saakashvili is a political prisoner – Garibashvili has acknowledged this. The problem is in rudeness, in hijacking the rally, in appropriating what is not yours, and this irritates people, this causes confrontation. Otherwise, it’s not that some activist likes Saakashvili and holds his placard – people don’t like the rudeness,” Tamar Chergoleishvili noted.
