"Today, we—the members of the resistance movement—pose a greater threat to the ruling party than the political opponents we refer to as the opposition. Therefore, the main targets will be those individuals from the civil sector who present the greatest danger to Georgian Dream as a regime," said Vakhtang Menabde, a member of the newly founded "Social Democracy for Georgia" movement, on PalitraNews’ program "Day’s Newsroom."

According to Menabde, this move is an attempt to stigmatize and discredit individuals by labeling them in a certain way. He argues that Georgian Dream is introducing new laws because it can no longer suppress protests with the existing legal framework.

"Justice does not function in this country today; the only thing that exists is a political confrontation between the resistance movement and the regime. This initiative has no legal purpose—it is pure propaganda. The introduction of treason charges serves only one goal: to strengthen propaganda. This is a clear attempt to stigmatize and discredit individuals. Today, we, the resistance movement members, pose a greater threat to the Georgian Dream than the political opponents labeled as the opposition. In some cases, the ruling party even considers such opposition a gift because they are so weak. There are currently 50 political prisoners in the country, none of whom have any political affiliation. This law will primarily target those who pose the greatest threat to the Georgian Dream regime. Political parties are more protected today than any other group, so Georgian Dream will use all available means to suppress the ongoing protests. Since the old laws are no longer sufficient to control the protests, they are introducing new unjust laws," Menabde stated.

Menabde also discussed the plans and objectives of the "Social Democracy for Georgia" movement, which was established on February 17. According to him, the movement aims to strengthen existing protest movements and transform the resistance into a coalition of small groups.

"Our movement was founded on equal principles, just as we envision a country where everyone has equal access to economic, political, cultural, and social benefits. That is why we have no leaders.

Our goal is to support and strengthen the existing resistance movement fighting against this regime. We believe a new Georgia is emerging from this resistance. We want to use our experience and connections to motivate further engagement in this movement. We are mobilizing social groups around specific issues. This protest has shown that unity is necessary. We have strong ties to various protest groups across Georgia, and we aim to support and empower them. The protest movement must evolve into an alliance of small groups. Until now, protests have been driven by individual efforts, but now people need to find their place and unite based on their interests," said Menabde.

Menabde also addressed the case of Mzia Amaglobeli, a constitutional expert and founder of "Netgazeti" and "Batumelebi." He criticized the government's treatment of Amaglobeli and other detainees, arguing that it demonstrates a complete disregard for human life.

"The charges against Mzia Amaglobeli are completely unjust, and the legal article applied is disproportionate. Her protest is justified, just like that of the Batumi flag bearer. The only thing we can say about the judges is that they are under the influence of the judicial clan, which in turn is controlled by the Georgian Dream. Therefore, we do not expect justice.

Georgian Dream’s decision to keep a prisoner in such conditions shows that they have no regard for human life and health. They are merely demonstrating their power, but what stands out in this display is their deep sense of powerlessness," Menabde concluded.
