Today Georgia has a hopeful opposition and angry government, President Mikheil Saakashvili said at the rally on Rustaveli Avenue. According to him, he had not come to politics for occupying certain posts, for arriving at summits, for shaking hands with Presidents or enjoying some privileges.
"I came here because you brought me here. I love you, I will win with you or die with you. Now it's a time when we have only problems. You had been questioned, fired, intimidated for the last 7 months, but you still came here. Many cannot understand that everything is not sold for money. We came here for our dignity and motherland," said the President.
According to Saakashvili, the last years’ fight was worth saying today: Georgia is not sold.
He said that people, who gathered on Rustaveli Avenue today, are not angry.
‘When we were in the government, we had a very angry opposition. Now it is on the contrary, we are optimistic opposition but we have very angry government. We call on you to be optimistic. Georgia should have an optimistic government, opposition and society. The slogans that the National Movement would have been destroyed remained as slogans. They could just buy some betrayers’, Mikheil Saakashvili said.
The President called on the government to do good things for Georgia and offered assistance.
‘We left good buildings and comfortable offices, roads and infrastructure, police structures, billions of laris for the programs that are being implemented now. Our opposition was thinking only about betrayal. They were trying to go to the Kremlin and attend parades there. You have an opposition that loves your country and which thinks always about your prosperity’, the President noted.
