Paata Manjgaladze responds to Shalva Papuashvili’s statement

Parliament Speaker of Georgia Shalva Papuashvili assessed the release of convicts through plea agreements in connection with the events that unfolded on October 4. According to Papuashvili, the country does not need "great revolutionaries" to cause unrest, and such actions are carried out by the very people who later claim that they ended up in the events by accident or that they intend to leave politics.

Imprisoned politician Paata Manjgaladze responded to Papuashvili's statement with a letter released from prison. According to Manjgaladze, he finds Papuashvili's position regrettable and noted that he was charged not for taking a photo, but for a statement made one year before October 4, 2025. Interpressnews+1

Manjgaladze addressed the Parliament Speaker and stated that "before we enter Europe with dignity, let us first walk with dignity here." He also added that he has not responded to Papuashvili's attacks and slanders because he believes that the truth will not lose its light. Interpressnews+1
