Irakli Kobakhidze: The opposition is not weak, but absolutely broken

We have a subjective reason to get candidate status, we will strengthen even more by getting the status. The opposition is afraid of the candidate's status like a plague, because we will become stronger, Georgian Dream Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said.

According to Kobakhidze, Georgian Dre­am is very subjective in terms of candidate status, because along with everything else, it will also improve the rating of the ruling force.

"We have a subjective, very biased interest to get candidate status. We are completely biased in this, we are very subjective, we subjectively want to get the candidate status, because, to put it simply, getting the candidate status will strengthen Georgian Dre­am a lot, it will also affect our rating, etc. We are subjectively interested. As for the opposition, look at their rhetoric, the rhetoric of their media outlets, they constantly talk about the fact that Georgia does not deserve the status, therefore, we should not receive this status. It is very clear who has what subjective interests. We have a subjective reason to get the candidate status, we will strengthen even more by getting the status. The opposition is afraid of the candidate status like a plague, because we will become stronger. We have a reason to receive it, and for exactly the same reason, the opposition does not want us to receive the status. All this is simple, the rest are empty speculations", said Kobakhidze.

In addition, according to Kobakhidze, the opposition is not weak, but "really disintegrated".

"The competition that exists between Khabeishvili, Lomjaria and others is an intra-party competition within the National Movement, we do not interfere in this, why should we interfere, the more internal conflicts there are, the better for us, we will not interfere in their internal affairs, on the contrary, I think internal conflicts are very good and we should give them as much freedom as possible. The opposition is not weak, but absolutely broken", Kobakhidze said.
