Earlier, Kobahidze said that he considers the “oligarchs” of several opposition leaders.

Kobakhidze recalled that “in Ukraine, a law on deoligarchization was adopted on this subject, and according to this law, if it had been acting in Georgia, the leaders of the two parties would be perceived as oligarchs. These are Khazaradze-Japaridze- the leaders of the Lelo party, and Saakashvili- Kzerashvili is in the “national movement”. So, look for the oligarchs and get ready for deoligarchization, “said Kobahidze. Earlier, the European Parliament also called for sanctions against billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili for his connection with the Kremlin, and many euro deputies stated that it was Ivanishvili that interferes with the democratic development of the country.
