Now it is clear under whose dictation Zurabishvili issued the pardon - Kobakhidze about Nika Gvaramia's visit to Strasbourg

The Chairperson of the "Georgian Dream", Irakli Kobakhidze, claims again that the President was forced to pardon the founder of "Mtavari Channel", Nika Gvaramia. . According to him, Nika Gvaramia's visit to the European Parliament shows under whose dictation Zurabishvili pardoned him.

Kobakhidze says that the purpose of pardoning Gvaramia was to incite polarization.

"Now, it can be seen under whose dictation Salome Zurabishvili pardoned Nika Gvaramia and what was the purpose of this pardon, why did they dictate to the president that she should pardon Gvaramia. The main purpose was, of course, polarization, and Gvaramia's statements are, of course, proof of that. The main purpose of the pardon was to inflame polarization, they couldn't do it with the existing political composition, I mean the composition of the opposition, and precisely in order to inflame polarization even more, they forced Salome Zurabishvili to pardon Gvaramia. This is very bad, very bad, because it seems that some people don't give up, they want to polarize, our goal is to maintain peace in the country," said Kobakhidze.

For information, Nika Gvaramia is in Strasbourg at the invitation of the European Parliament. The founder of "Mtavari Channel" will have meetings with the European parliamentarians on July 11-12. On July 11, a meeting will be held with Andrews Kubilius, Miriam Lexman, Viola von Cramon, Marketa Gregorova and Anna Fotiga. On July 12, MEPs will hold a public discussion together with Nika Gvaramia, organized by MEP Petras Austrevichus.
