“It is very grave when there are more political prisoners per capita in the country than in Russia. I congratulate Bidzina Ivanishvili for surpassing even his patron in this regard,” stated Tina Bokuchava, the chairperson of the United National Movement.

According to her, “if Ivanishvili thrives on anything, it is sowing nihilism and despair in society, which is fueled by mutual accusations and confrontations among opposition democratic forces.”

“We must strengthen, consolidate, and learn our lessons thoroughly, whether from our own mistakes or those of others, to move forward with greater unity, responsibility, organization, and coordination. Ivanishvili’s main hope was and is to instill nihilism in society, and the best way to do this is to provoke internal conflicts within the opposition. Therefore, we must act with great caution and wisdom so that none of our words pour water on Ivanishvili’s mill.

I hope that those detained will not limit themselves to mere hints, because when you fight Russia and the FSB, half-truths won’t defeat them. Truth in politics is essential for victory. I hope we will hear more about the involvement of the State Security Service (SUS).

Also, if anyone is interested in my specific locations, you can ask Mamuka Mdinaradze, who calls himself the head of SUS and, in reality, holds meetings with journalists. [I want to tell this television’s journalist] that he will provide you with the locations of where and how I was on October 4. I was at the rally with my three-year-old twins, then took them home and returned to where the Georgian people were standing. Unlike ‘Truskavets’ Mdinaradze, as long as I am in this fight and it is necessary, I will always be where the truth and the Georgian people are,” Bokuchava stated.

According to her assessment, it is important to sanction propagandists to begin dismantling the regime.

“The television company ‘Imedi,’ which is a propagandist of the Russian regime, is the most harmful cog in this repressive, destructive machine, which I hope will be sanctioned, and we are working on that. Also, on sanctioning Irakli Rukhadze and other propagandists to rid this country of this evil, which will be significant for dismantling this regime. I am curious whether ‘Truskavets’ Mdinaradze, Kobakhidze, and others feel responsibility for the health of the injured people,” Tina Bokuchava stated.

According to Bokuchava, Bidzina Ivanishvili is now using Russian tactics.

“There is no need to reinvent the wheel; this is a method tested by Putin when, years ago, they accused Hillary Clinton and others of organizing protests in Russia. This is the practice that Ivanishvili is using, a scenario written in the FSB, claiming that money was brought in through Thailand by Americans to finance Bidzina’s overthrow—an absurdity,” Tina Bokuchava stated.
