**Personnel Issues Plague Georgian Oligarch’s Court**
In a surprising move, Vakhtang Gomelauri, the Minister of Internal Affairs, has resigned from his position. According to Irakli Pavlenishvili, Deputy Secretary General of the “Unity National Movement,” this decision is just one part of a larger struggle for power within the oligarch’s court.
Gomelauri’s resignation comes as no surprise to many, given the allegations against him. As Pavlenishvili pointed out, Gomelauri’s name has been linked to serious crimes, including the brutal treatment and torture of innocent citizens on Rustaveli Avenue. The Deputy Secretary General emphasized that while personnel changes may seem significant, what truly matters is the decision-making power behind them.
**A Clan Feud in the Oligarch’s Court**
Pavlenishvili’s comments suggest that a deeper issue lies within the oligarch’s court. “It seems that a clan feud is underway, a battle in the oligarch’s court,” he said. This implies that there may be infighting among powerful individuals vying for control and influence.
The resignation of Gomelauri could be seen as a victory for one faction over another. However, Pavlenishvili warned that this move does not necessarily change the course of events. “Who will be the executor of Ivanishvili’s orders—what name they have—absolutely doesn’t matter,” he said.
**A New Face in Charge**
Gela Geladze has been appointed as Gomelauri’s replacement, bringing a new face to the role of Minister of Internal Affairs. As Deputy Head of the State Security Service, Geladze brings experience and knowledge to his new position.
While this change may seem significant on the surface, Pavlenishvili downplayed its importance. “It doesn’t matter—what matters is what decision Ivanishvili makes,” he said.
**The Real Issue**
Pavlenishvilli emphasized that the true issue lies not in personnel changes or new appointments but in the actions and decisions of those in power. As such, it remains to be seen how this move will impact the Georgian government and its citizens.
