Three MPs leave ruling party to tell people the “truth”

Three MPs of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party, Sozar Subari, Dimitri Khundadze and Mikheil Kavelashvili, who left the party on Tuesday, stated that the key reason behind the decision was “to tell the truth to the public more openly.” 

 

The MPs said following the announcement that they had no contradictions with the GD except the one – how open to be with the public in their statements. 

 

“There is a complicated situation in the region today and Georgia is part of this region. You have heard a number of statements that directly encouraged us to get involved in the war. There were direct attempts to do so, as well as indirect attempts. 

 

“The only thing that can prevent this threat is the support of the people and the mood in the public. People need to know the truth. On the one hand, there is a threat of getting involved in the war, on the other hand, we are standing at the gates of the most important decision for the country. This is an opportunity for us to join the European Union,” Subari said.

 

He suggested that getting involved in Russia’s war in Ukraine would deprive Georgia of all opportunities. 

 

“That is why we have to tell the people more truth,” Subari said, noting that the responsibility of being a member of the ruling party restricted them from doing so. 

 

Subari stated that the Georgia people “lacked sufficient information” over various issues.
