“What we’re witnessing from Zourabichvili and others who speak about Georgia without any legitimacy is a complete disregard for the Constitution, the will of the Georgian people, and Georgia’s national interests,” stated Maka Botchorishvili, Chair of the European Integration Committee of the Georgian Parliament.

“We observe that these individuals care neither about Georgia, nor its people, nor the will of Georgian citizens, nor Georgia’s national interests. Regrettably, Salome Zourabichvili has joined the ranks of those who act in absolute opposition to the will of the Georgian people. This is yet another confirmation of disrespect – disrespect for the Constitution, disrespect for the will of the Georgian people, and disrespect for Georgia’s state interests.

This is everything we see from Zourabichvili and from those individuals who now speak about Georgia without any legitimation. Neither Gigi Ugulava nor others who question the will of Georgia’s population have any legitimacy, either within or outside the country. The Georgian people have not granted them this right, and they have no authority to speculate about the desires of the Georgian people when they are completely disconnected from and have no understanding of what the Georgian people actually want,” Maka Botchorishvili declared.
