‘Several things are clear to me - it is time for cardinal changes, which we must all think about together, - one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, Nika Gvaramia, writes on the social network.

According to him, "with long semi-literary texts, heartbreaking stories and dithyrambs, dictatorship has never been defeated anywhere."

"Several things are clear to me:

1. What is being done, whether by activists, politicians, NGOs, or even the media, is not enough - the regime is not in agony. It is weakened, isolated, but it has adapted to both protest and isolation.
2. The arrests are working. If not open, at least it causes internal censorship and caution, which, as the intensity of arrests increases, transforms into fear (which is very natural and human).
3. We cannot save the prisoners, the starving are on the verge of death;
4. With everyone's work, especially with public protests, significant results have been achieved, but the upward trend in development has not been observed for at least 1 month;
5. Politicians do not know everything and cannot do everything. It is not right to demand the impossible from them. Neither a new party is a panacea nor a complete merger of existing parties;
6. Criticism, no matter who or what it is, is not hostility, and its intolerance and practical prohibition only serves the psychological comfort of oneself, spoils the work and distracts us from the goal.
7. Everything is not well, everything is difficult, and this should push us to even more action, not to give up or seek a comfort zone, which means deceiving ourselves that everything is going well.
8. Dictatorship has never been defeated anywhere with long semi-literary texts, heartbreaking stories. Nowhere and never.
9. It is time for cardinal changes, which we should all think about together,” Nika Gvaramia wrote on Facebook.
