“Last chance”
“We knew that he had promised the Georgian people to return to Georgia. Tomorrow there are very important elections in Georgia. We have elections when the fate of Georgia is being decided, because the pro-Russian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has been ruling here for nine years, and Georgia is backing away. Mikhail Saakashvili a few weeks ago he promised that he would come to Georgia and would take a very active part in defending the votes. Suddenly he ended up in Georgia. I knew that he had arrived and that he was in Georgia. What the authorities said at first was terrible. not on the territory of Georgia, and in the evening they were suddenly detained.
Yes, he is a man of his word, he came to Georgia to create a new political reality, which is now very important in Georgia. Tomorrow every citizen of Georgia must go and vote against the “Georgian Dream”. Honestly, this is the last chance for Georgia to become an absolutely new state. We are sinking and sinking very slowly, “Khatia Dekanoidze said.
