**Saakashvili’s Dark Legacy: A Harmful Force to His Own People**
The legacy of Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgia’s former president, continues to haunt the country. In a recent statement, Tea Tsulukiani, chairwoman of the temporary investigative commission, labeled him an “evil force” who waged war against his own people and was ultimately defeated. This assessment is in line with comments made by other officials, including Mr. Sozar.
The discussion centers on the attack on former MP Valeri Gelashvili, which is being investigated at a parliamentary commission hearing. As part of this inquiry, the former MP himself has been questioned by commission members. Commission member Irakli Kadagishvili described the footage showing the injured MP as particularly distressing, saying it was a shocking reminder of what could happen to anyone who dared oppose Saakashvili or his government.
In response to these revelations, Tea Tsulukiani emphasized that the footage from this attack will be included in the commission’s final report. This decision reflects a broader determination by the investigative body not to let those involved erase evidence of their wrongdoing. It is the duty of the commission to ensure that this material is preserved for future generations, serving as a testament to Saakashvili’s legacy and its impact on Georgian society.
**A Question About Saakashvili’s Place**
Tsulukiani concluded her statement by posing a stark question: Where should Mikheil Saakashvili be today? While everyone knows the answer, there is hope that this situation will soon change. The emphasis on preserving evidence of Saakashvili’s wrongdoings underscores a growing desire to see justice served and accountability upheld in Georgia.
The inclusion of these findings in the commission’s report serves as a reminder that even the most powerful individuals can be held accountable for their actions. As the people of Georgia look towards a brighter future, they seek leaders who prioritize peace and understanding over conflict and oppression.
