You are abusers, party activists - Gharibashvili is attacking journalists again Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili accuses journalists of violence and does not see any issue in the seizure of the microphone from Emma Gogokhia, a journalist for the Mtavari Channel.
Gharibashvili told critical media reporters that they were party activists and were "ruining their place" because they should be in the party and in parliament.
"If you do not stop this destruction ... you are ordinary abusers. You are direct party activists; you are members of the National Movement. [...]
Your microphone, I don't know what's going on with the microphone ... I want to tell you one thing, that this falsehood and violence must put an end to you, I am not talking to you in this case, I am talking in this case to the people who are your bosses. It is very unfortunate that television has already been transformed into branches of party organizations.It is not a crime. "What your sponsor Saakashvili and his team did is a crime," Irakli Garibashvili said.
Garibashvili also accused journalists of aggression and said that all those responsible for the July 5 events were punished and arrested.
"Maybe Gvaramia is telling you what to ask me? It's shameful," Garibashvili told Mtavari Channel journalist.
