Irakli Kirцkhalia’s statement on national interests and political rhetoric

Parliamentary majority leader Irakli Kirцkhalia stated during his speech at the plenary session of the autumn session that Georgia's national interests cannot become a space for any party's political score-settling, personal ambition, or service to external interests. According to him, people who for years did not protect state interests are today trying to turn painful national issues into a weapon of political struggle. Imedi+3

Kirцkhalia noted that the statements of representatives of the "National Movement" and the agent networks originating from it go beyond the scope of healthy discussion. He emphasized that when one of the leaders of an agent network makes a statement about the Abkhazian war for which the Prosecutor General's Office begins an investigation into the fact of treason and sabotage, this requires the special attention of the state.

According to the parliamentary majority leader, a full legal and political lustration is needed for all those political and influence networks that work directly or indirectly against Georgia's peace policy. Kirцkhalia also spoke about the rhetoric of the government in the period after 2008 and the events that developed after 2022, including demands for sanctions and the topic of a "second front."

According to interpressnews, Kirцkhalia also noted that under the "Georgian Dream" government, Georgia has created a crucial legal basis for de-occupation in international courts and added that the government's primary obligation is not to allow Georgia to be turned into a testing ground for war.
