“We will achieve victory for everyone; the process begins today,” stated the leader of “Strategy Aghmashenebeli,” Giorgi Vashadze, to journalists after the conclusion of the opposition parties’ meeting, where the parties reached a final agreement and decided to form the “Opposition Alliance.”

According to Giorgi Vashadze, today marks “the first strategic step in the direction of everyone uniting.”

“The Opposition Alliance has been formed. This is very, very important. Our message is unity, consensus, standing together, putting the country back on its feet, and getting things done. For this, we need a lot of hard work, and we should consider today’s day as the first strategic step toward uniting everyone. Everything is fine. We are confident that, in the end, together with society, we will achieve victory,” Giorgi Vashadze stated.

To remind you: An “Opposition Alliance” has been formed among part of the opposition parties. The document is signed by “Coalition for Change,” “United National Movement,” “Strategy Aghmashenebeli,” “Federalists,” “National Democratic Party,” “European Georgia,” and “Tavisuplebis Moedani” (Freedom Square).

The signing opposition forces agree on a common strategy and joint rules of action and declare that through collective efforts they will liberate Georgia from Bidzina Ivanishvili’s “autocratic regime,” restore the country’s Euro-Atlantic course, and ensure democratic governance.

The agreement is based on several principles, including “unity without uniformity.” Specifically, according to the document, the founding parties of the alliance retain their ideological identities but agree on unified protest actions and a common communication strategy.

Additionally, the participating parties agree on a code of conduct that regulates the rules of interaction among the signatories and establishes responsibility for any violations.

The “Opposition Alliance” pledges that it “will fight to the end - until the release of political prisoners and victory in free and fair elections.”
