Nanuka Zhorzholiani on Mikheil Saakashvili’s statement - “revolutionary changes must take place in the ‘United National Movement’” - what stage are we at? - negotiation stage.

“The proposal is interesting. I understand that the challenge will not be easy, but I also think there is a chance for major changes,” said journalist Nanuka Zhorzholiani in response to former President Mikheil Saakashvili’s statement, in which he noted: “We have jointly agreed to invite the brilliant Nanuka Zhorzholiani and her excellent team to join us in reforming the party.”

According to Nanuka Zhorzholiani, the process is currently at the negotiation stage and she will speak about further details later.

She also stated that the party should show greater trust toward new faces and young people so that they can create a new agenda for the country’s development.

Zhorzholiani also notes that she values Saakashvili’s readiness for change and his trust in youth-oriented visions.

She is convinced that the party’s “old composition,” which consists of the country’s “main reformers,” best understands how important this is.

“Briefly, this is the situation. I have received an interesting proposal from Misha, which he has already publicly written about. ‘The United National Movement’ must undergo revolutionary changes - young people should become the main force. Work in the regions and confrontation with propaganda, creating new interests, moving from political squabbles to real work, and directing efforts toward the main enemy. What stage are we at? - negotiation stage.

The proposal is interesting. I understand the challenge will not be easy, but I also think there is a chance for major changes. In short, it is a stage of thinking and negotiation - meetings, listening to others’ opinions…

I appreciate Misha’s public statement that he is ready for major changes. This is also the main topic in private conversations. To open the door for new faces, young people, ideas, and new perspectives - it is precisely young visions that should pull Georgia out of a deep stagnation. The party should trust them more, just as it once trusted Misha and gave him the steering wheel of governance. Now is also the time for this - young people should set the agenda. In this part, I value Misha’s trust.

I am confident that the old composition of the country’s main reformers’ party understands best how important this is now. As soon as I know more details, you know I will be the first to write about it - except for Misha himself,” the journalist writes.

For information, Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, announced from prison the joining of television host Nanuka Zhorzholiani and her team to the “United National Movement” as part of radical reforms and party renewal.

In his statement from prison, the third president of Georgia emphasizes the need to transform the UNM into a “people’s organization,” which should not be a narrow elite group, but a union of all citizens.

According to Saakashvili, under conditions where the party’s leaders are imprisoned, it needs fundamental renewal and activation, for which television host Nanuka Zhorzholiani has his full mandate and trust.
