"Giorgi Gakharia's action in February was a betrayal of his team. More importantly, it was a direct betrayal of the state. The rule of law is the cornerstone of any state," former Prime Minister and founder of the Georgian Dream party, Bidzina Ivanishvili, writes in his statement.
According to him, first of all, the activities of any politician and state official should be evaluated and measured in relation to the rule of law.
"When a high-ranking official goes against the rule of law and leaves office under this pretext, it is hard to imagine a bigger political crime. I want to note with sadness that all of this has caused me severe frustration.
The logical continuation of all this was the establishment of a political party by Giorgi Gakharia. His party has no ideological or conceptual basis, and it is intended to seize even a small number of electoral votes from the ruling team," Bidzina Ivanishvili wrote.
