These queues at the polling stations mean that the "Georgian Dream" will not be defeated, but the one-party rule will be defeated - on October 1, 2012, the public, behind me in the queue, voted for Ivanishvili, but they did not bless him as the king, "Coalition for Change" reported on this. One of the leaders, Nika Melia, told journalists after making his choice.
According to him, the society does not want the king and the chairman of the Communist Party, Bidzina Ivanishvili.
"This building is the building of the 47th public school in which I studied. It was the 90s and it was definitely not the best years for our generation. I want none of the young people, representatives of the next generation, to experience those difficult years, that unfavorable period for the Georgian state, which has passed through many generations. Especially when we have the opportunity to choose which geopolitical space we want to be in - we want to be in the Russian geopolitical space, when I was a student and I went to the 47th school on Mtatsminda, if we want a western geopolitical space that implies high-quality education, high-quality medical services , an economy that works on people, not on a few hundred people; which implies a happy state; Which implies a free teacher, a free citizen, whom no one can ever force. Especially when it all concerns the expression of freedom of will at the elections. I want all of us to become a member state of the European Union in a few years. It depends on us. That community opened its doors to us very wide. We just have to enter the wide door. I made this decision right here.
I can draw a parallel between what the mood was in this district, even in 2021, where the opposition did not have a bad result, and compare it to the mood today. Even here, in the district, in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Zugdidi, Rustavi. People have made a decision that they want change. It is no longer about good and bad, it is about people's demand for changes. The largest part of the society should not be afraid to see Ivanishvili as a king. I want very soon, in a few years, to have a European Union passport along with the Georgian passport. I don't want a person to be like a king in this country.
On October 1, 2012, the public, in the row behind me, I know personally, they are blind, they voted for Ivanishvili, but they did not bless him as king. They believed that on October 1, 2012, the government should be changed. Tbilisi decided so and 70% refused the previous government. Society had a desire for change. Unfortunately, the opposite happened. Each successive government made the political system even worse. The fact that we do not want the current government, this very vicious government, does not mean that we cry for something in the past. We will not mourn anything that happened in the past. We want to move forward, we want to move towards the future. We want change, we want to live in a state where we will win this year together with others, but we will lose in the next elections. We will win the next one and lose the next one. That is, there should be variability. We do not want the king and the chairman of the Communist Party, Bidzina Ivanishvili, in either role. We will win very convincingly today. These queues at the polling stations mean that the "Georgian Dream" will not be defeated, but the one-party rule will be defeated, which was not only implemented by Ivanishvili, he simply changed the foreign policy course of the state, unlike others. This corrupt political system is changing this year and we are leaving the one-man rule behind. There will never be a single politician in this country who will be able to rule this country single-handedly," said Nika Melia.
