**Politicians Resort to Violence**
A leader of a Georgian party has accused a politician, Bidzina Ivanishvili, of using violence to get what he wants. Giorgi Vashadze said that this shows how weak they are.
Vashadze was speaking about the attacks on two other politicians: Giorgi Gakharia and Zviad Koridze. Gakharia was hit in the face at a hotel in Batumi. He went to the hospital, but was later discharged.
Koridze said that he was confronted by another politician, Dimitri Samkharadze, and his friends at the same hotel. This happened after an investigation into a previous attack on Vashadze himself. In that case, the person who attacked him got a car as punishment.
**Vashadze’s Warning**
Vashadze said that anyone involved in these attacks will be punished, but only after there is a change in government. He does not trust the current investigation and thinks it will not do its job properly.
“This violence has a name: Bidzina Ivanishvili,” Vashadze said. “It’s systemic violence. We must confront this together.”
**The Attack on Gakharia**
Gakharia was taken to the hospital with a broken nose and a concussion. He later went home. This attack happened last night at a hotel in Batumi.
