“I wanted the same pace of development here as in Batumi. But Batumi began to develop only after Tbilisi was freed from corrupt officials. And Odessa will begin to develop after Kyiv is liberated from corrupt officials who patronize banditry and lawlessness, including in the Odessa region. Therefore, in this situation, I decided to resign and begin a new stage of struggle. I won't give up. Let them not hope that they will get rid of me. “I am the soldier who goes as far as he can, and then as long as necessary, in order to rid Ukraine of this scum, who betrayed the idea of the Ukrainian revolution, and whose only motivation is to fill their pocket,” Saakashvili said.
He recorded his statement against the background of the new administrative building of the Odessa seaport, which, according to Saakashvili, did not open due to sabotage by Poroshenko.
“At the beginning of the year, the president promised me that he would support this project. In April he solemnly repeated his promises. And he did not lift a finger to prevent this project from coming into force.
I want to ask a question: how long can you lie? A few days ago, the citizen service center, which Poroshenko had inaugurated before the local elections, closed. Therefore, at the suggestion of his own faction, new norms were adopted that did not allow this center to work...
I'm really tired of this. I'm really tired. We see that the forces of regression are attacking everything progressive. All new beginnings are killed in the bud. Everything is happening before the eyes of the whole of Ukraine...
They publish declarations containing more cash than would be needed to make all roads European in Odessa and other regions... This is not work! I'm really tired of this! I am very tired!
Once again, the AP began to sell positions as heads of district administrations - instead of young, promising, idealistic ones who won competitions...
What difference does it make for Ukrainians who will not care about them - Poroshenko or Yanukovych? Who will rob them - the Enakievskys, or the Kononenkos? Who will take credit for everything – Kovalchuk or Klyuev?
Just like Goncharenko, Presman, Kivalov were - they robbed and robbed! What has changed for people? When we said that we would change everything, President Poroshenko told me that Yatsenyuk was interfering with him. We created a cleansing movement and helped get rid of Yatsenyuk. And how did it end? The composition of Yatsenyuk in the same schemes was slightly shifted by the composition of the president - and as they robbed, they robbed!
No one has deceived me so much in my life and so cynically!” – Saakashvili shouted into the microphone.
