According to Berdia Sichinava, another leader of the party, Gakharia’s health condition is satisfactory and he is recovering at home. Sichinava stated that the organizers and attackers will be held accountable.
**Background to the Attack**
The attack on Gakharia comes just days after Bidzina Ivanishvili publicly threatened him with retribution. Ivanishvili, a powerful figure in Georgia, has been accused of using dishonorable methods to preserve his regime.

The Sheraton Hotel has surveillance cameras that cover its entire perimeter. The hotel administration has confirmed this and expressed readiness to provide footage to the investigation.
Law enforcement officials have been given 24 hours to solve the crime. Berdia Sichinava stated that the organizer and all attackers will face appropriate consequences.
**Party’s Reaction**
The “For Georgia” party has vowed to continue fighting against the violent regime until victory is achieved.
