Shevardnadze Slams Burjanadze Again
President Eduard Shevardnadze today criticized once again the performance of Nino Burjanadze as Parliamentary Chairperson.
“Always, when I speak about Nino Burjanadze, I remember that she is a woman. Otherwise, I would have been much stricter. I am fair, when I disapprove of her work in the Parliament, since the legislative body failed to discuss a great deal of vital laws. The Parliament’s activity completely depends on its chairperson, while [Burjanadze] is busy defending her party’s interests,” Shevardnadze said in his radio broadcast on October 20.
He recommended Burjanadze not to make statements against the President, adding, “politics is a science to be done by the men.”
Despite these statements, President Shevardnadze said he did not confront the Parliamentary Chairperson and called on the voters to support the “honest people” in the upcoming elections.
