According to the Prime Minister, Irakli Gharibashvili, during the meeting with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, the issue of release of the chairman of the "National Movement", Nika Melia, was discussed. Gharibashvili tells Melia's family and party members to pay bail if they want to release him from jail.
"The issue was the release of Mr. Nika Melia, it was my position and now I want to repeat, of course we do not and can not interfere in the enforcement of the law, the second Mr. Nika Melia and his family, or party members have the full opportunity to pay the bail at any time, any day; and if it is in their interests to actually release this person from prison, he should be released from prison before the final verdict is issued," Irakli Gharibashvili said.
