“All these destructive actions of irresponsible politicians in recent days are aimed at blocking not only the separate institutions but the entire state,” Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia said before the sitting of Cabinet of Ministers.

PM called on the ministers to double their attention and concentration in order to ensure the effective work of state institutions.

“Although some irresponsible politicians think that freedom of expression means the assault of police officers, intrusion into Parliament or picketing it, we, the government, fully realize the importance of the country’s democratic values and our response to similar steps will be fully lawful, dictated by the responsibility that we have before our citizens.

This picketing does not mean blocking individual institutions, it means blocking the whole state, so I would like to urge you, each of us, to double our focus and concentration to ensure the effective functioning of state institutes in a usual mode.

It is our obligation to care about every citizen, teacher, doctor. This is the primary responsibility of our state and government, which we must fulfill on a daily basis, whoever tries to block the state through various destructive actions,” Gakharia said.
