It is a pity that the former president, willy-nilly or not, ended up on the side of the disguised Red Army [the United National Movement opposition party], which has nothing to do with true Western values, Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze on Thursday said in reference to the country’s fourth president Giorgi Margvelashvili.
Margvelashvili is calling for the release of imprisoned former president Mkheil Saakashvili on medical grounds, claiming the Government is “torturing him”.
“A person who was the president of Georgia and enjoyed the greatest honor to be the supreme commander of the defense forces of the country, always, including after the expiration of the presidential term, should act in accordance with the national interests of the state”, Bregadze said in his social media post.
The minister stressed while spreading “fake information” over the torture of the former president in custody, Margvelashvili was insulting “thousands of worthy employees” of the penitentiary system, “which is completely unacceptable”.
