“Bidzina Ivanishvili never allowed herself to manage the processes from behind the scenes; nothing like that happened,” said Gia Volski, the first deputy speaker of the Parliament of Georgia. According to Volsky, rumors about Ivanishvili’s considerable financial resources are used for political speculation.
“There was not a person in the leadership of the citadel of democracy, the United States, whose family did not have significant financial resources. If we are talking about a large financial resource, remember Davit Kezerashvili’s “Lelo” with huge sums of money that he stole from the state budget of Georgia. Talks about Bidzina Ivanishvili’s large financial resources are used for political speculation, but behind this large resource is an endless list of positive projects he has done for Georgia. “You can’t give me an example when he will negatively characterize the presence of large financial resources,” said Volsky.
