GD's Matikashvili: Expelled former teammates fueling radicalism in Georgia

Some former members of the ruling team who were expelled are fueling radicalism in Georgia, said Davit Matikashvili, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Procedural Issues.

Matikashvili’s comment followed a statement by Sopho Japaridze, a member of the opposition National Movement party, who declared that “Kobakhidze and Georgian Dream should expect many more surprises from their former teammates.”

“The Prime Minister spoke precisely about this. Everyone should clearly understand that those who break the law, betray the homeland, or commit crimes will face an uncompromising state response,” Matikashvili stated.

According to him, while no specific names have been mentioned yet, the fact remains that some expelled individuals “tried to encourage radicalism and even financed it.”
