“I, as an ordinary soldier of my homeland, together with my team, will remain on guard for our country and our families in 2026 as well. We will faithfully fulfill this difficult and honorable mission for as long as our society considers our service to Georgia necessary.

Let no one have the illusion that I personally, or our political team, will grow tired in this unequal struggle. What matters most is that our people, just as before, clearly distinguish in 2026 who is Georgia’s enemy and who is its friend,” reads the New Year address of Bidzina Ivanishvili, Honorary Chairman of Georgian Dream.

Ivanishvili emphasizes the Georgian society, which, in his words, can no longer be deceived or manipulated emotionally. As an ordinary soldier of the homeland, he says he and his political team will continue to stand guard over the country.

“I assess the situation objectively and am confident this will be the case, because, to my great pride, a society has been formed in Georgia that is not only difficult but impossible to deceive or manipulate emotionally. Yes, this is today’s Georgian people in all their greatness!

Personally, as an ordinary soldier of my homeland, together with my political team, I will remain on guard for our country and our families in 2026 as well. We will faithfully fulfill this difficult and honorable mission for as long as our society considers our service to Georgia necessary.

On behalf of myself and my wife, we once again congratulate you on the coming Christmas and New Year. We sincerely wish you peace, prosperity, and boundless joy. May hope, faith in the future, and abundance fill your families.

May God protect us and our homeland!” reads Bidzina Ivanishvili’s New Year address.
