Thinking about party selfishness is not only immoral, but also backwardness - I have a paradoxical position on banning parties: I would agree to this nonsense, I am sure that real politics will be built from scratch, we should let all politicians swim freely, - Nika Melia, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, said in his speech at the trial.

According to him, "repressions by the regime" serve to break the trust of society.

"I will say in a few words how I see getting out of this swamp. I am sure that there will remain an internal protest and protest that will say its word at the right time and in the right context. Thinking about party selfishness is not only immoral, but also backwardness from beginning to end.

It is even a shame for a person to think about a party, a faction today. I have thought a lot about banning parties in prison, you will be surprised and I have a paradoxical position. I would agree with this nonsense, I am sure that real, genuine politics will be built from scratch. We must let all politicians swim freely. We now need to discover ourselves in the bosom of the people. Unfortunately, many people are not in the bosom of the people, this can be explained by many reasons. Party politics is of secondary importance. I would like to express solidarity with the people who have been on a hunger strike for 29 days on Rustaveli avenue, I want to wish them and all people endurance and truth in this struggle. I have no doubt that if we show strong nerves, victory will be inevitable.

Let us not be distracted, repression by the regime is only their means, and what they are doing is breaking our faith. What we talk about among ourselves, even what they say on TV, what they broadcast, is of great importance. A person may not be able to go to the rally, but when he talks to his neighbor over a cup of coffee, he should also radiate faith there. I would like to ask everyone for whom my position is important to be in large numbers on November 28. Unfortunately, people have lost faith, but we must call out to each other, history has forbidden defeat. Their intention is to make us tired. We must plan a long-term plan in order to achieve victory in the short term, for years we have been doing the opposite.

Let us plan for the long term and try to achieve the maximum short-term.... One of the politicians [Saakashvili] called me a sold-out and bargained-for Ivanishvili, I can't be in the same space with such people. I have a lot to say with specific facts and I'm holding back. They will bring this to him and several of his associates, and I'm glad that his absolute majority did not share his position. You won't see me, Nika Melia, even within one hectare next to such an accuser," Melia states.
