President highlights menacing, hatred, and violence from officials during Holy Week, Easter, Passover
“Equating youngsters with Berbichashvili (Gigla Berbichashvili, a person who killed prominent public figure Ilia Chavchavadze) would have been the biggest shame for any person,” President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili wrote on Facebook.
“When these words belong to the Prime Minister, this portrays him as being in another dimension and confirms that the government is distancing from people. Governance begins with the love of own people. The love of the motherland is nothing but that. I could not have imagined so much menacing, hatred, beating and violence during Holy Week, Easter and Passover from officials (without an exception). This is their faith. As for language, your hate speech has never been Georgian,” she wrote.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze addressed sincere young people with an open letter.
