Paata Manjgaladze: We are considering the possibility of creating a large opposition coalition - if there is an agreement and Giorgi Vashadze is a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, it will only help the common opposition process

If there is an agreement within the opposition and Giorgi Vashadze is a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, it will only benefit the common opposition process - based on objective criteria, we say that Giorgi Vashadze will certainly be a unique candidate, the main thing is for the rest of the opposition to agree on this now, Paata Manjgaladze, one of the leaders of Strategy Builder said.

According to him, the possibility of creating a large opposition coalition is being considered, which will not be a third force, but a force that will defeat the government in the elections.

"As for the issue of Giorgi Vashadze's premiership - I can directly say that the issue related to the premiership will not be discussed at this stage, but we are considering the possibility of creating a large opposition coalition, which will not be the third force, but the force that will defeat the government in the elections. The first phase of negotiations is completed, and I can confirm this. Also, we think that the minister's office should be named so that the Georgian Dream propaganda loses its power and does not scare people that someone is coming, someone is returning, etc. The time for new leaders has come and everyone will see it together, professional people will be involved in this process.

As for the return - Strategy­ Builder is not being abolished, neither other parties, National ­Movement, nor anyone unites in any party. On the contrary, we are creating a new supra-party, supra-national process, where the main thing will be not parties, but people and leaders of the new generation. We open the door to all pro-Georgian, pro-national, pro-Western people who value the national interest of Georgia. This is a new national process.

We were talking about criteria, and the main criterion is the work done, and what resources a particular leader has. When it came down to it, 28-year-old Giorgi Vashadze, from the position of deputy minister, made a unique reform in the form of houses of justice, which was talked about in the English Parliament, and was broadcasted by various world media - today Georgia is known for throwing stones and eggs. Giorgi Vashadze can really change this paradigm. If there is an agreement within the opposition and Giorgi Vashadze is a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, it will only benefit the common opposition process," Manjgaladze said.
