The current arrests serve precisely this purpose, to psychologically break us and make us believe that they will defeat us all, - Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, writes on her Facebook page.
As Khoshtaria notes, unity around the strategy of struggle, delegitimization of local elections, sanctions and holding a large rally where the strategy of struggle will be announced are necessary.
“The weapon of modern autocracies is psychological influence. The weapon of mass media is the creation of false realities and influence on people’s brains. The current arrests serve precisely this purpose, to psychologically break us and make us believe that they will defeat us all.
The reality is as follows:
No one recognizes the regime either outside or inside. When they don’t recognize you, it’s hard to exist. This is not a permanent given, it’s something to be maintained;
Inside, they are eating each other, is this a sign of their defeat? - Not yet. Of weakness? Yes;
Georgia has found an unbroken society and an unbroken political spectrum. Is this a guarantee of victory? No. Does it give a chance of victory? Yes. The main thing is how you will use it;
Are we the majority? Yes. Is this a guarantee of victory? If we are torn apart, no! If together? There is a great chance. What is to be done? Unity, but around the strategy of struggle: the strategy of struggle:
Zero cooperation with the Russians, i.e. with the Dream;
Delegitimization of the local so-called elections - this will end the illusion of their recognition, give direction to the protest;
A new phase of general public protest - with the remaining politicians and society standing together (I have specific ideas in this regard, I will not write them here);
Achieving legitimacy of the unity of the opposition outside the country;
Sanctions.
We should soon hold a big rally, let's all stand together and announce the strategy of struggle. These are my tasks these days and this is my mood in this phase,” Elene Khoshtaria writes on the social network.
