Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia today said that the opposition parties fueling the ongoing protest have low IQ levels. PM took to his official Facebook page and wrote an open letter addressing youth, whom he called sincere but misled.
PM stated majority of protesters belong to the opposition party UNM after the reintroduction of the foreign agent law by the Georgian Dream-led government. “He said that people with the average intelligence are more dangerous than the Russian tank.” He further attacked the leader of opposition Lelo leader Mamuka Khazaradze, TV Formula founder Davit Kezerashvili and foreign donors.”
PM Kobakhidze in his open letter focused on accusing a mysterious “sincere young man he knows,” whose posts he followed on Facebook and highlighted him as an example of the confused youths among rally attendees and mockingly calling him a “sincere youth”.
The PM also stated that this man’s stance on significant political events from 2020 to the present is not clear. PM gave this statement while citing Facebook posts as sources, and concluded that “despite so many mistakes, this sincere young man of ours is still standing at the rally. He said they do not understand the law of the land and just misleading the youth for their vested interest.
He added the government is faced with a choice as to whom to follow in this situation. This is a very crucial phase as “sincere youth of average intelligence” and associates, or “our young, middle-aged and elderly fellow citizens who correctly analyzed the events of the past three years and did not accept any artificially created provocation and helped to maintain the strength of the state.”
On this occasion, Prime Minister Kobakhidze called on the “sincere youth” to understand the importance of moving towards Europe “with dignity”. He also added that Georgia will become a member of the EU by 2030 with this dignity as an independent and a sovereign state.”
