Tina Bokuchava at the EPP Political Assembly: EU member states should not revoke visa-free travel for Georgian citizens - it should only apply to Ivanishvili and his entourage
Grigol Gegelia: We must understand that it’s not Keir Starmer or Scholz talking about education reform, but Kobakhidze, the head of a terrorist regime, so the goal is clear - I see a very high risk of political purges
Irakli Kobakhidze on the October 4 events: As many as need to be arrested will be arrested. Everyone who committed acts of violence or participated in violent attempts to overthrow the government will be detained
Kakha Kaladze on the arrest of protest participants: The police will take appropriate measures against those who committed a crime. As for the form of arrest, well, they won’t be arresting anyone with flowers, will they?
Irakli Kobakhidze: If 11 years are sufficient for the school curriculum, we cannot add a 12th year for another reason; As for the desire to continue studies abroad, our goal is for Georgian students to receive a high-quality education in Georgia
Irakli Kobakhidze: More than 400 political parties are registered in Georgia; Our goal is the unconstitutional banning of a single political force — this is the “Collective National Movement"
Irakli Kobakhidze on Peter Fischer: Everyone can clearly see that this particular ambassador is directly involved in political activities; An ambassador cannot behave this way in the country where he represents his own state
Mother of detained activist Mariam Mekantsishvili: Mariam was arrested in the morning at home, her 7-year-old daughter was there too; They didn’t say what charges she faces, took away our phones, and didn’t allow us to call a lawyer
Kakha Kaladze: The reform of the education system is very important and somewhat overdue
CEC: The statement by the organization “European Platform for Democratic Elections” claiming that a number of international observers present at the local elections are “fake observers” is offensive and unfounded
