Geka Geladze has been appointed as Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs (MVD) of Georgia — a position that requires ministerial rank. He previously served as the head of the State Security Service (SGB) of Georgia. Tamaz Borashvili, who was the deputy head of the SGB, has now become the head of the SGB. This reshuffle in the government block was announced by former minister Irakli Kobakhidze during a briefing today. For Georgia, this change signifies a factual continuation: from May 2025 to April 2026, Geladze himself will lead the MVD after the current head of the SGB steps down. The reshuffle involves a total of 4.5 months, covering the period after the SGB head's departure on April 28. Geladze also spoke about his exit from the SGB through social networks. He did not attend the briefing in person. Kobakhidze characterized him as a "prominent professional, honest and straightforward." The briefing ended with a positive note about the professionalism and integrity of the new leadership.
