Nika Melia: Bidzina Ivanishvili mockingly runs our state, which he has seized, from home

According to Nika Melia, this year there will be not just an election, but a referendum.

"There will be no elections where we only count the percentages, it can no longer be a party struggle and it can no longer be a struggle where more or less better or worse results will be shown by any separate opposition candidate in any city, district or village. This is a crucial battle and we have to send the Georgian Dream home and leave Bidzina Ivanishvili at home. Yes, let's leave Bidzina Ivanishvili at home, we cannot send him home, because this person is comfortable at home and runs the state from home, which he has seized. Isn't it a paradox? Yes, of course, it is a paradox that many Georgians have tolerated this oligarch running our seized state from home mockingly. We should save this state from him on October 2,” said Nika Melia.
