"It seems that Ivanishvili can no longer even imagine staying in power through election fraud, so the only remaining option is the formal ban on political opposition. However, this will not help him maintain power. Ivanishvili and Georgian Dream have completely absorbed the most disgraceful part of the United National Movement. All the enforcers of various crimes are now in full unison with Ivanishvili, fighting to hold onto power. It will be difficult for them to turn Georgia into Belarus, but we must all understand that this threat is real.

Even in a rigged election, Tbilisi rejected Kaladze and Ivanishvili. Despite electoral fraud, Georgian Dream failed to secure a majority in major cities, which is a clear signal for them. Kakha Kaladze is one of the most disgraceful figures in Georgian Dream—we all remember how he once praised Saakashvili, and now he presents himself as his biggest critic. But our main goal is not the local elections; it is the announcement of new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners.

I don’t know what’s going on in Ivanishvili’s head, but the country is in a serious crisis, and this crisis cannot be overcome without new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners. It seems Ivanishvili intends to add more people to the list of political prisoners—this is exactly why the absurd charges against Badri Japaridze and Mamuka Khazaradze have been launched."

Buadze also commented on the work of the temporary investigative commission in Parliament, which is examining the activities of the United National Movement. He called it "comical" that the commission, which was allegedly set up to investigate crimes committed during the UNM government, has summoned the leaders of the Strong Georgia coalition, Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze, as some of the first witnesses.

"The most ridiculous part is that a commission created to investigate the crimes of the UNM has called Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze as their first witnesses. If the goal is to investigate past government crimes, the first person who should be on trial is Tea Tsulukiani—this transformed, modernized Chekist and intellectually and morally bankrupt political nobody, who is now staging shows for Ivanishvili. She was kicked out of the government, and now they’ve assigned her the role of a Soviet-style inquisitor, which suits her perfectly.

If there were so many crimes to investigate, what were the Minister of Justice and the former Prosecutor General doing for the past 13 years? Tsulukiani achieved absolutely nothing in that time. This entire commission is just a distraction to cover up real problems. But Georgian Dream has failed to cover up any crisis—not even the MEGOBARI Act—and now they are just trying to escalate tensions.

Mamuka Mdinaradze, Adeishvili’s former deputy, and Givi Mikanadze are calling me someone with a politically tainted past? These people are shameless, politically bankrupt scoundrels. The Georgian people will ban this force, which carries out Russian orders in Georgia and collaborates with the enemy.

Right now, they are speaking from a position of fear, weakness, and desperation, trying to ban someone."

Buadze also commented on the MEGOBARI Act passed by the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee, stating that it is a clear message that American partners support the Georgian people’s struggle.

"Ivanishvili’s propaganda has failed. This act represents the position of the new U.S. administration and its team. Their propaganda about 'making deals' has disappeared like last year's snow. Ivanishvili's only remaining hope is that the U.S. will withdraw from this region. Personally, Ivanishvili is already sanctioned, and Vakhtang Gomelauri is sanctioned under the Magnitsky List. So, we should expect further sanctions. But the most important fight must be waged here, by the Georgian people, through protest and resistance."
