"They tried to disrupt the meeting, but they failed. I was the last speaker. When we finished, an uproar broke out there. I approached the scene and was attacked by two rather strong individuals. Judging by their build, I suspect they were former wrestlers. They were angry, swearing, and struck me three times," Metreveli said after the incident.
Levan Metreveli was later examined at a clinic. "As a doctor, I can confirm that I have all the symptoms of a concussion and a serious hematoma. I’m not yet sure if there’s a skull fracture; a CT scan has been done, and I’m waiting for the results," he told reporters.
One of the leaders of the National Movement, Petre Tsiskarishvili, linked the incident to a statement made by Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili a few months ago.
"He said there would be street violence, that the National Movement would not have a calm and peaceful pre-election period. They oppose our pre-election activities, send us threatening posters, and try to disrupt our meetings," Tsiskarishvili said.
Georgian News is awaiting a response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ press office on whether an investigation has been initiated regarding the incident in Kardenakhi.
