“The door of the Opposition Alliance is open to all pro-Western political groups. This does not conclude the final formation of the ‘Opposition Alliance’; we are expecting other pro-Western political groups and we continue coordination with them,” stated one of the leaders of the “Droa” party, Giga Lemonjava, to journalists after the conclusion of the meeting of part of the opposition parties.

As Lemonjava noted, the “Opposition Alliance” is a “democratic alternative to Ivanishvili’s autocratic regime.”

“The Opposition Alliance has been formed. We are creating a reliable alternative - meaning a democratic alternative to Ivanishvili’s autocratic regime - first and foremost for our people, as well as for our international partners. This is a rules-based common agreement that envisages the unification of pro-Western political parties around a shared strategy for victory.

I would like to thank each political party - those who put their personal ambitions aside and brought the state interests of this country to the forefront.

I would also like to say that the door of this Opposition Alliance is open to all pro-Western political groups. This does not conclude the final formation of the ‘Opposition Alliance’; we are expecting other pro-Western political groups and we continue coordination with them,” Giga Lemonjava 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.”
