“With his impulsiveness, Saakashvili lets down everyone who works with him, even those who admire his zeal and energy” - пишет reviewer.
“Poroshenko threw the former Georgian leader into Odessa like a grenade. He hoped that Saakashvilli would attract his enemies in the rebellious region. However, the appointment of the hot Georgian Saakashvilli was a gamble for P. Poroshenko, which failed miserably,” Walker sums up.
More sharply expressed by New York Times columnist and Caucasus specialist Lincoln Mitchell tweeted: “Saakashvili, having resigned, abandoned all his patrons and followed the path of L. Trotsky, calling for revolution.”
The former president himself said that the last straw of patience was the publication of the income statements of officials. However, the recent decision of Saakashvili’s political force in his homeland, Georgia, obviously played an important role. The party lost the elections and decided to distance itself from even mentioning the name of the former president, which ruins his chances of returning.
“Politicians of the United National Movement believe that their current failure is due to the fact that voters associate their political strength with the mistakes and sins of Saakashvili during his presidency” – пишет Eurasianet.
