UNM leader Nika Melia has been forcefully arrested this morning (after he was set free on demand of Giorgi Gakharia just before tendering his resignation) together with 21 UNM officials, just shortly after Irakli Garibashvili was formally confirmed as PM. He also announced that the GD will not seek any compromise deals with "the radical opposition".
Garibashvili's successor as PM, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, and former foreign minister Mikhail Janelidze criticized the arrest and called their own party to consider snap elections.
Welcome to a new chapter of "Georgia in disarray"!
the monarchy should be restored.
