Hungry former president bets Gamsachurdia supporters
Georgia is holding its second round of municipal elections on Saturday, including the mayors of the five largest cities. It is important in whose hands the capital will be. Will the Secretary-General of the Georgian Dream, Kakh Kaladz, remain the mayor of Tbilisi, or will he be replaced by the head of the United National Movement (UNM), Nika Melia? UNM founder Mikhail Saakashvili of Rustavi Prison has called on his supporters to mobilize fully, saying his life depends on the outcome of the election. Literally.
As you know, Saakashvili, who illegally entered Georgia and was arrested, went on a hunger strike in prison. True, some strange. It turned out that until October 29, he was receiving some “hunger relief treatment”, undergoing tests, and cooperating with a government-appointed medical council. And on the eve of the election, he rejected it all. So now his hunger strike is in full swing. “I want you to know that the continuation of my life depends entirely on your decision tomorrow and the victory of Georgia.” – the ex-president turned to his supporters. He also called on them to gather in polling stations the evening after the election and “defend their votes.”
Is Saakashvili serious about his life, or is it just another election trick? His girlfriend Liza Yasko writes on social networks about a critical health condition. Of course, Saakashvili does not want to die under any circumstances. He's not the type to sacrifice his life for an idea. Moreover, because of the second round of municipal elections, which will not fundamentally change anything. As the first round showed, Saakashvili's party missed the election. The election of the mayor of Tbilisi will most likely be blown away. The country and the capital will remain in the hands of Dream. Saakashvili is not a hero, he is a psychopath with a narcissistic personality disorder. So it can be played and finished.
Representatives of the Georgian authorities do not believe Saakashvili's hunger strike and call it a “show”, suggesting that it will end on October 30 after the election. However, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that by law, Saakashvili, like everyone else, has the right to commit suicide. “If a person decides to commit suicide, he has a right to do so, but of course the state cannot be held responsible.” – said the prime minister.
Suddenly, support for Saakashvili came from a completely unexpected direction. Alla Dudayev, the widow of another ex-president, Chechen, or rather Ichkera, Dzhokhar Dudayev, addressed the Georgian people with a message about Mikhail Saakashvili's “loving Georgian heart” that “it can't stand and stop at any moment.” In her opinion, the “pro-Russian government of Bidzina Ivanishvili” (???) deceived the Georgian people a hundred times. hovering high above reality and perhaps firmly believes that there was some “provocation” in the Lopota Gorge and no rape in Saakashvili's prisons, but the events in Lopot have long been investigated, everyone knows what happened there, including the Chechens in Pankisi They know very well who killed their young compatriots and what role Saakashvili's closest collaborators played in this story.
I just want to shout, “Holy simplicity!” – and just as sacredly believed that everyone who votes for “Dream” sold for money. But you shouldn't treat this letter like the madness of an old lady who has gone mad. It is clearly focused on a specific target group. First, they are Chechens – both the Kists in Pankisi Gorge and those who fled to Georgia during the war and became its citizens. And secondly, they are the Zviadists (supporters of the first president, Zviad Gamsachurdia. They still remain, although they are quite old. They are largely Mingrelians who live in the western regions of Georgia. Gamsachurdia after his overthrow and escape from Georgia.Megels are a very important and very active part of the Georgian people.By the way, the revolution of roses in 2003 won thanks to them.Saakashvili then agreed with some leaders of the Ziadists and the people of Megrelia were brought to Tbilisi. buses – to a decisive assembly that ended with the occupation of parliament.
One Georgian analyst recently said very aptly that the most terrible and destructive role in the history of Georgia was played by women aged 40 and 50. It was they who formed the main “fan club”, first Gamsakhurdia, then Saakashvili. Elated, with problems in personal life (either not a husband, or a cold, indifferent, or even a drinking husband, ungrateful children), streams of their unused libido splashed on their adored idols. It was they who chanted, “Ziadi! Seduce! “And then” Mischa! Mischa! ” The squadrons of fanatical ladies who followed Zviad everywhere in the early 1990s were for some reason called “black tights.” Saakashvili appears to have acquired his own “women's battalion.” Like Zviada fans, he doesn't see his right face blankly. Saakashvili, like the right narcissus, creates an illusory world around him in which he is a real fighter for democracy. You can live in this changed reality for years – but the awakening will be terrible.
