As for Mr. Charles Michel, I remember his statement in which he said that Nika Gvaramia’s pardon was a step towards depolarization. Yesterday, we saw Nika Gvaramia insulting a policeman. If this is depolarization, they should issue a statement about this as well, Parliament Chairman Shalva Papuashvili stated.

As he noted, the authorities listen to and respects everyone’s statements, but the sole entity with the highest authority for them is the Georgian people.

“Is this the depolarization for which they had Salome Zourabichvili pardon Nika Gvaramia? So that they could insult our police? This is why we listen to everyone’s statements, we respect everyone’s statements, but the sole entity whose statement is supreme and authoritative for us is the Georgian people. This law is in the interest of the Georgian people. I understand that there may be groups that do not like this law, including groups among the public, including citizens at the demonstration who might not like it, but Georgia is bigger than a few groups. Therefore, let us respect Georgia as a whole, everyone, big and small, in the regions and in the center. Georgia is one big, undivided country, everyone has to right to speak, to make decisions through representatives. Today, the majority that we have in the Parliament of Georgia was elected by the Georgian people, and the adoption of this law is in the interest of the Georgian people. Therefore, they must not twist the arm of the Georgian people. Let those who discuss, think about, and observe this process stand on Georgia’s side and serve the interest of the Georgian people,” Shalva Papuashvili stated.
