More pressure, organization, and unity are needed, former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili declared during his virtual appearance at today’s court session.

“I will do everything to end this misfortune. I do not recognize either this court or this investigation. I don’t recognize them because this is a court and investigation of “white envelopes”, but I do recognize the Georgian people and their sovereignty, Ukrainian people and their sovereignty.

Our fate is in our hands. We need to endure a little longer and push harder. Now is not the time for flirting, settling scores, or making passing remarks about each other… More pressure, even more organization, even more unity, and we will definitely defeat the criminal syndicate that has seized the fate of every Georgian”, - said Mikheil Saakashvili.

He criticized the current government for its focus on “court corridors and halls”: “They often say Murusidze was also there during Saakashvili’s time. I didn’t even know who Murusidze was then, I hadn’t even heard of this surname. Why hadn’t I heard it? Because the court wasn’t the centre of anything. The court was somewhere there, by the way. The centre of life was oriented towards something completely different, the country’s development and future”.
