Tina Bokuchava: We must defeat Bidzina Ivanishvili through unity

“Today we agreed on the rules of unified action and on the strategy, and this is the right step,” stated the chair of the “National Movement,” Tina Bokuchava, after the opposition parties’ meeting.

According to Tina Bokuchava, the “United National Movement” has always been, is, and will remain a supporter of unity.

“It is understandable that there are differences among us, but the ‘United National Movement’ has been, is, and will always be a supporter of unity because we believe that it is precisely through unity that we must defeat Bidzina Ivanishvili. Today we agreed on the rules of unified action and on the strategy, and this is the right step taken in the direction of responding to society’s demand for opposition unity. In this regard, today is truly a very important day,” Tina Bokuchava 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.”
