Davit Usupashvili: More Resolutions Mentioning Bidzina Ivanishvili and Georgia in General is Inevitable
Lelo MP Davit Usupashvili responded to the planned vote on the resolution related to Mikheil Saakashvili in the European Parliament on February 15 and said that that more resolutions mentioning Bidzina Ivanishvili and Georgia in general will be coming, adding that this process is 'inevitable'.
As he noted, the democratic world sees that politicians are busy with the prosecution in Georgia, adding that the worse Saakashvili's condition gets, the 'happier' they are.
"What we see in the country is seen even better by the outside eye, those people evaluate us in accordance with the standards, the whole democratic world sees that the highest representatives of the government in Georgia, the leaders of the Georgian Dream are busy with the prosecutor's office, not politics, they limit who should go where. They decide whether he should be in prison or outside, and they are busy with paying revenge. As they see him in a worse condition, they are happy and radiate feelings of satisfaction, all this will be translated into many resolution projects and resolutions," Davit Usupashvili said.
