The mayor of the capital city, Kakha Kaladze, reacted to the attack of the Georgian Dream chairman on the journalist of the Mtavari Channel, Natali Jakhutashvili, and justified Irakli Kobakhidze's insulting and humiliating remarks.
Kaladze called the fact unpleasant but said Kobakhidze's attacks were not one-sided.
"I won't go into details. I would like to repeat once again that it's not a pleasant fact; in order to be united we have to do everything so that there is more mutual respect. You may not like a particular politician, you may not support his political moves, but insults and insults to family are categorically unacceptable.
You think it was all one-sided, that you should insult us and we must stand with our heads down, that's wrong.
A commitment to patience? What does commitment to patience mean? You want me to take an insult and be quiet about it?" said Kakha Kaladze.
