UNM’s Tsitlidze: Gakharia couldn’t last three years in opposition without wagging his tail for GD

“Gakharia couldn’t last three years in opposition without wagging his tail for Georgian Dream. They used to big him up, but this so-called super-powerful minister has become an ordinary coward,” declared Ani Tsitlidze, a member of the United National Movement (UNM).

According to her, Giorgi Gakharia’s party is eager to enter parliament and take its seats.

“It’s absolutely incomprehensible what procedures they’re engaging in. Yesterday, I saw how their man Sichinava was justifying it; apparently, it was just some procedures. Sorry, but what procedures are they going through with the Russian regime in the first place? What procedures are we talking about when parliament is illegitimate and when nobody recognises this parliament’s legitimacy either inside or outside the country? I expect anything from Gakharia’s party, who fled to Germany. To save their necks and show Bidzina Ivanishvili what a mistake he made when he replaced Gakharia with Garibashvili and Kobakhidze and threw him out, to prove they’re still loyal to him,” declared Ani Tsitlidze.

According to her, Giorgi Gakharia is a “GD member” imported “from Temu” onto the political scene, and is a “GD supporter” by his very mentality.

“I don’t know what he will do, how he will continue his activities; for me, this is genuinely uninteresting. Let’s call Gakharia’s activities by their proper name from the start. What they’re doing is a betrayal of the protest movement and all those people who are unlawfully incarcerated.

They couldn’t last three years in opposition without starting to wag their tails at Bidzina Ivanishvili. What Gakharia is doing now is very simple; he fled to Germany and is now trying to keep his party from falling apart, whilst making deals with Bidzina Ivanishvili. Given that legitimacy is important for Georgian Dream, Gakharia is telling him: ‘I have the key to provide you with legitimacy, I can enter parliament if you don’t crush me, don’t destroy my party,’ and so on. They used to big him up so much, but this so-called super-powerful minister has become an ordinary coward who couldn’t last three years in opposition without wagging his tail for Georgian Dream,” declared Ani Tsitlidze.
