Companions of the beaten Georgian deputy took revenge on his offender in parliament
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A fight broke out in the Georgian parliament during a hearing on the law on foreign agents. Deputies of the ruling Georgian Dream party attacked the leader of the Citizens faction, Aleko Elisashvili, after he hit one of the Dream leaders, Mamuka Mdiraradze.A meeting in parliament took place on April 15, the legal committee discussed the bill “On the transparency of foreign influence.” During the hearings, Elisashvili attacked the speaker. He ran up to the podium and punched Mdinaradze in the face. Elisashvili was taken out of the hall and the meeting was interrupted. Elisashvili later stated that he could not listen to the words of “justification of the Russian bill”; in his opinion, deputies with such views “understand only the power of the fist.” For his part, Mdinaradze said that the opposition planned in advance to disrupt the committee meeting. Georgian Dream, which was withdrawn in March last year, reintroduced the bill on foreign agents to parliament for consideration on April 3. Opponents of the bill call it a “Russian project” allegedly promoted by Moscow. Commenting on such accusations against Russia, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called them absurd and recalled that similar laws apply in many countries. Posted by: badanov 2024-04-16 |
