Of course, I intend to return to Georgia, the government is dangerous because it is impossible to measure their recklessness - I am ready to fight, in any form and in any place. I am also ready not to surrender to the Dream like this, if I am effective here - I will fight here, if I am effective in prison - I will fight in prison, - Giorgi Gakharia, the leader of Gakharia - for Georgia, stated in Brussels regarding his return to Georgia.
According to Giorgi Gakharia, at this stage his presence is most effective in Brussels.
"Am I going to return to Georgia? Of course I am going to, I still have visits planned. To tell the truth, it is difficult to say specifically what limit the government's recklessness has, the government is dangerous because it is impossible to measure their recklessness. Tomorrow, someone may find out that 2 or 3 times more Bitcoins have been hidden, or several times more money has been stolen from "call centers" and a miracle will happen. We must understand the main determinant - in the morning, when the government wakes up, it is looking for Bitcoins and money, it does not care about how people live, what is happening in the European Union, inflation... They care about the stolen money.
What does it mean to be ready for prison? I am ready for the fight, in any form and in any place. I am also ready not to surrender to the Dream like this. Every day of mine is a political step, and today it just so happened that I couldn't avoid the media. If I am effective here - I will fight here, if there - I will fight there, and if I am effective in prison - I will fight in prison.
In my opinion, my presence is most effective in Brussels, with these people. Today, in fact, the mood was for a final decision, visa-free travel was in the air, but we postponed it, and I didn't achieve it alone, we managed to do it together with the citizens of Georgia. This [visa-free travel] cannot be lost, it is simply evil and Dream is happy about it and will be very happy about it,” Giorgi Gakharia said.
Giorgi Gakharia also responded to the hearing on Georgia held in the European Parliament on July 15.
“The message is very simple, if the European Union is unable to reach a consensus on how to impose individual sanctions on those people who are guilty of Georgia’s democratic regression and change of orientation, this does not mean that Georgian citizens should be punished. Dream has actually hidden behind the backs of Georgian citizens and is trying with the help of various states not to impose personal financial sanctions on them. Everything will become clear soon, when the final decisions of this Council are made public. I hope that Georgian citizens will demand that the government make public what kind of letter it received from the European Commission, what terms and conditions are being discussed. Our goal is to protect what we have achieved in recent years and what the citizens of Georgia have received, unlike the Georgian Dream. It would be very convenient for the Georgian Dream if visa-free travel for Georgian citizens is suspended. Do you remember Ivanishvili’s famous phrase - “The borders were opened, people saw what life is like, and then they wanted a good, normal life for themselves, and then they demanded the same from us here.” They themselves are ready to do everything to protect the stolen money - they shoot at each other and have bloody street fights. Today we have an anti-national, anti-state government that is destroying everything we have done over the past 20 years to bring us closer to Europe. The country has been driven by money for the past 2 months," Giorgi Gakharia said.
As for the local elections and the signing of the memorandum with Lelo - Strong Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia calls this an important step in terms of cooperation. According to him, it is important that Lelo - Strong Georgia and Gakharia - for Georgia are not competitors in the elections.
"We must reach out to everyone and explain that Dream has become an anti-national, anti-state force.
The essence of the memorandum was cooperation, of course, we must cooperate with each other, what is the point of us confronting each other and competing? We must cooperate and not pit our candidates against each other. Where we agree on neutral candidates, this will be the best result. We also intend to talk to the voters of those who are boycotting today, but only where we will have neutral candidates nominated. We are open to everything. We must leave party confrontations in the past," Giorgi Gakharia said.
