The leader of the For Georgia party, and former Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia, discussed Ivanishvili's political exit during a meeting with the party members in Gori and said that Georgia has the opportunity to gain time and years for history and on the other hand, due to 'some incompetent idiots', Georgia is risking losing these 20-30 years.
According to his assessment, the fate of the achievements and mistakes made by Georgia in the last 30 years will be decided in the next 1-2 years.
"You should know one thing - I promise you, today in Georgia there is such a moment when the responsibility of each person will be personalized. Today in Georgia, there is such a period that who stood here, who had what position, who did what, this will not disappear anywhere and responsibility will be personalized. It will be so because history cannot stand an emptiness.
Today there is a geopolitical opportunity for this country to win 20-30 years. Can you imagine what it means for Georgia to win 20-30 years? We all understand very well that if it were not for this unfortunate war, this window of opportunity for Georgia to get closer to the European family so quickly would not have existed. On the one hand, we have the opportunity to gain time and years for history, on the other hand, due to some incompetent idiots, we have the risk of simply losing these 20-30 years.
Of course, under these conditions, the responsibility of each of us will be personalized. History will evaluate it, we will see it and I am sure of it," said Gakharia.
According to Giorgi Gakharia, Bidzina Ivanishvili "left politics in order to stay in politics".
"When someone comes out and in the conditions where 85-95% of the population have a complete consensus where Georgia should be and where is the place of the future of Georgia, and suddenly there is an opportunity to use this place of yours and gain time for history, gain years and reach this goal faster. After all, someone comes out, an idiot, and says that 'I don't want such a Europe'.
Let's ask 85% of people whether they want such a Europe or not. Let's ask the 85%, do they want such an incompetent, irresponsible government? Responsibilities will be personalized and everyone should take this into account. I tell myself that too.
For example, if Bidzina thinks that he came and said 'I left politics' - he left to stay in politics and what he is doing now with the help of these puppets, that he does not have a responsibility here, or that responsibility will not be personalized, he is very wrong," Gakharia said.
