Giorgi Gakharia resigned

Giorgi Gakharia has resigned as Prime Minister.

"Yesterday, Nika Melia's court sentenced him to imprisonment as a measure of restraint. This is a man who has never respected the Georgian position and this is a man who called on our citizens to storm the parliament on June 20 and was one of the organizers of the invasion of the parliament, but in spite of everything, my absolutely unshakable position is that even a legal person Enforcement of a measure determined by justice, if it endangers the health, life or general of our citizens, creates a political escalation in the country is unacceptable.

Today, especially when political tensions and polarization in our country pose risks to the development of the country itself and to the future security and future of the country, when we all, together with our citizens, fight global pandemics, economic crises, regional challenges and, most importantly, polarization, In order to give a better future to our children, such an event should be held only when all kinds of risks are reinsured and when there are no risks, none, regardless of political expediency or orientation, will create any excuse for escalation for each of our citizens and most importantly. Therefore, due to the fact that I, unfortunately, could not reach a joint opinion with my team on this issue, I decided to resign from the position. "Of course, I believe and I want to believe that this step will help reduce polarization in the political space of our country, because I am convinced that polarization and confrontation between us is the biggest risk to the future economic development of our country and dealing with all kinds of crises," – Giorgi Gakharia said.
