Khundadze said it is unfortunate that citizens, police officers and journalists were injured during the clash last Thursday.
Unfortunately, a lot of incorrect information was released about the health of people and their treatment. It is utmost important for us to ensure that people have precise and objective information”, Khundadze said.
He said the Georgian Health Ministry is fully covering the expenses of those injured, while the Cartu Foundation is financing several individuals’ treatment abroad.
We hereby want to underscore that the Georgian Dream does not divide citizens in protesters, police officers and politicians”, Khundadze said.
He also noted that the ruling party will spare no efforts to take care of every citizen.
