Everyone who opposes the idea of ​​the primaries is in favor of the backstage action - we don't want that! - Giorgi Vashadze, the leader of Strategy Builder, told journalists.

As Vashadze explained, the idea of ​​holding primaries is not an initiative of the Strategy­ Builder.

According to Vashadze, this is an initiative put forward outside the parties, which was positively evaluated by Girchi - More Freedom and Droa.

"Today, more than ever, we need unity on the pro-European side. Power has been seized by the pro-Russian minority, which rules the country with a pro-European facade. To get candidate status, we need unity on the pro-European side.

For unity, it is necessary for the voice of the people to be decisive. If we don't eliminate the political backstage actions, all unity will be impossible.

Unity rules require open and transparent procedures. The primaries mean that the decision in this unity is made by people, not the political backstage.

We support Western standards both in the political and country ruling processes.

For us - Strategy ­Builder - the interests of the country and the people stand above the partisan interest," said Giorgi Vashadze.
