“This unity differs in that it is an alliance that has come from the bottom up, not an alliance decided from the top. The unity is based on specific content,” said one of the leaders of the “Federalists” party, Tamar Chergoleishvili, after the conclusion of the meeting where the “Opposition Alliance” was formalized.

In response to the question why “Lelo” is not part of the opposition parties’ alliance, Chergoleishvili stated that “Lelo” and other parties will definitely join the “Opposition Alliance” because “this path has no alternative.”

“Everything has its time: there is a time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. Right now is exactly that time of gathering. The opposition alliance has been formed. This is unity without uniformity. We have agreed on a common strategy for victory and on the rules of cooperation along this path. Beyond that, we will turn our existing differences - which reflect the moods of our society and our citizens - into our strength.

This unity differs in that it is an alliance that has come from the bottom up; it is not an alliance decided from the top. This unity is based on specific content.

We have a very large electorate; we will undermine the ‘Georgian Dream.’

(‘Lelo’) will join us, everyone will join us - this path has no alternative. Everyone who wants survival will join us.

Until now we were not united because we could not agree on the content. Now such a time has come, and we have a chance to turn things around!” - stated Tamar Chergoleishvili.
