Resistance Platform: Irakli Kobakhidze’s open letter once again reveals the truth: the regime that opposes our strategic partner – the USA – is actually opposing democracy, Western course, freedom and choice of the Georgian people

Irakli Kobakhidze’s open letter once again reveals the truth: the regime that opposes our strategic partner – the USA – is actually opposing democracy, Western course, freedom and choice of the Georgian people, reads a statement issued by the Resistance Platform.

As stated in the statement, Kobakhidze’s letter does not represent the will of the Georgian people.

According to the statement, today, more than ever, unanimity is needed! - “We will not allow anyone to destroy the trust and friendship built over decades with America”.

“The US has been and remains our strongest supporter on the path of independence, territorial integrity, security and development.

The people and government of the United States stand by us while Ivanishvili’s regime is deliberately blocking the European perspective, destroying institutions, killing democracy and dragging the country into Russian isolation.

A clear example of this is the MEGOBARI Act – a historic act adopted with unprecedented support, which says an unequivocal “yes” to the Georgian people and “no” to authoritarianism.

We, the Platform of Resistance, say: Georgia is not a hostage to Ivanishvili and his illegitimate group. Georgia’s future, security and safety are linked to a strong Europe, a strong America. Leaving our country alone and defenseless is in the interest of the enemy.

Kobakhidze’s letter does not represent the will of the Georgian people. It represents the interests of a small group of power-grabbers who are trying to survive in isolation from the democratic world.

We reject the conspiracies, false accusations, and the anti-Western campaign that the regime is conducting in a coordinated manner.

Our goal is to prevent the deterioration of relations with the United States and our European friends, so that the Georgian people can return to their unalternative future and development prospects, which are associated with EU membership and strategic partnership with the United States.

We, the Platform of Resistance, express the centuries-old and unwavering choice of the Georgian people!

Today, more than ever, we need unanimity! We will not allow anyone to destroy the trust and friendship with America that have been built over decades.

There is only one peaceful way out of this crisis, which is deliberately created by the regime - new, free, fair parliamentary elections and the release of prisoners of conscience," reads the statement.

Michał Kobosko - we hope that your government eventually would either choose the European way, the democratic way or would resign seeing the number, the size and scale of the citizens' protests
