'Porridge revolution' idea unclear, Girchi's Rakviashvili says

14:06, 08.11.2021

Girchi party member Sandro Rakviashvili does not expect the ‘porridge revolution’ to be successful, dubbing it a ‘vague idea.’

“It is clear that Mikheil Saakashvili’s hunger strike is a political act, but I do not think someone will organize a revolution for that reason as it is hard to do so,” Rakviashvili noted. The Special Penitentiary Service posted footage on Saturday on social media of Saakashvili on a hunger strike receiving food at Rustavi prison.

Saakashvili later dubbed the footage as “disgraceful” and “criminal,” claiming he was receiving “necessary mineral and micronutrient supplements” prescribed by doctors.
