Salome Zurabishvili expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of some participants in the action held the previous day at her residence.
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said that when asked if she would pardon former President Mikheil Saakashvili by her decree, “the answer will be given when the answer is given.” This was reported by Interfax-Ukraine.
Earlier, Zurabishvili emphasized more than once that he would not forgive Saakashvili under any circumstances.
In a briefing on Wednesday, December 28, the president expressed displeasure with the actions of some participants in the rally held near his residence. More than two hundred participants gathered for the action, who suffered under the leadership of Saakashvili, reminded Zurabishvili of his own words about his pardon.
“When I found out about this action, I wanted to go to these people, where I went through more than one battle with the criminal regime of Saakashvili, but some participants in this action, controlled by no one knows who, made an attempt to enter the residence,” said Zurabishvili.
He believes that the “managed” people at the rally are trying to put pressure on the President.
“This pressure comes from those people, from that party, whose current leaders were nowhere in 2007, when the criminal regime fully revealed its face. Now these people are threatening me with different forms, teach me how to fight Saakashvili,” he said. Zurabishvili.
He also said that today in Georgia “some kind of joint game of different political forces is happening, which seem to be very much opposed to each other.” However, according to him, these two political forces acted in the same direction on the issue of Saakashvili’s arrival in Georgia.
“Some motivated Misha – come, come and people will take to the streets for you. Others motivated Misha with the Georgian mentality – if you are a man, try, come. Both were satisfied with Saakashvili’s arrival. For more than a year there is no other subject in Georgia except Saakashvili “, said Zurabishvili.
A rally was held at the presidential residence in Tbilisi on Wednesday demanding that Saakashvili not be released early from prison.
Those who gathered at the president’s residence, who suffered under Saakashvili’s rule, also announced that if the former president was pardoned, they would start a protest movement in Georgia.
On December 29, the Tbilisi City Court will continue to consider the case on the possible postponement of Saakashvili’s imprisonment due to his deteriorating health.
It should be reminded that earlier it was reported that Georgia’s accession to the EU was directly related to the case of former President Mikheil Saakashvili. In particular, the European Parliament will not support Georgia’s entry into the bloc if the politician dies in prison.
