Georgian media reports that country’s president Mikheil Saakashvili was speaking at a congress of UNM party and said that although Georgian Dream won “quantitative majority”, the United National Movement (UNM) was still maintaining “majority of truth and moral” and it would definitely win in “final round.”
“We will definitely rise to our feet,” Saakashvili told his party’s indoor gathering. “I am not going to hang up my boxing gloves after the expiration of my presidential term.”
Ukrainian world heavyweight boxing champion and the leader of opposition UDAR party Vitaly Klitschko was present as a guest at the UNM congress. UNM secretary general Vano Merabishvili and Klitschko signed a cooperation agreement between the two parties on the sideline of the congress.
“The fight is definitely not over,” Saakashvili said. “Of course knockdown is not pleasant, but it is not final round; the final round will be in our and in the Georgian people’s favor and we will definitely win.”
In his speech President Saakashvili lashed out at PM Bidzina Ivanishvili’s new government and said that Georgian Dream coalition and its government’s “inappropriate concepts” contained “a huge threat to the future” of Georgia.
