Archil Gorduladze: Nanuka Zhorzholiani is an inseparable part of the collective ‘National Movement’ - her support from Mikheil Saakashvili is an exposure of internal party conflicts - We want this series to continue

Nanuka Zhorzholiani is an inseparable part of the collective ‘National Movement’ – we are eagerly waiting for the next episode, we want this series to continue,” said Archil Gorduladze, Chair of the Parliamentary Legal Affairs Committee, in comments to journalists.

According to him, the support for Nanuka Zhorzholiani from Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, reveals internal party conflicts.

Gorduladze says Nanuka Zhorzholiani will have no success.

“The collective ‘National Movement’ is nothing more than a task-executing so-called party that has gone beyond constitutional boundaries. The instruction was for them to somehow unite and fight against Georgia’s interests with combined forces, but this is not working. Members of this political gang have a particular hatred toward each other. They cannot even share power among themselves or positions in front of their patron. Accordingly, we see this confrontation and mutual insults, even ‘stabbings’ between them. We have seen another episode, but we want this series to continue. We are eagerly waiting for the next episode. We remember that Nanuka Zhorzholiani, together with the ‘National Movement,’ tried to become a member of the Parliament of Georgia through elections. She was a majoritarian candidate and was also on the party list, but she did not make it into Parliament and turned into an ordinary propagandist who goes from broadcast to broadcast and uses various social networks to somehow spread disinformation more actively. No one can convince us that Nanuka Zhorzholiani was far from the ‘National Movement.’ On the contrary, she is an inseparable part of the collective ‘National Movement.’ Now her support from the undisputed leader of the ‘National Movement,’ the creator of a bloody system of systematic torture, Mikheil Saakashvili, is an exposure of internal party conflicts. What success could Nanuka Zhorzholiani possibly have? Let society judge. Of course, none — zero,” Gorduladze said.

For context, Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, announced plans for radical reforms within the United National Movement and the inclusion of television host Nanuka Zhorzholiani and her team. In a statement released from prison, Saakashvili emphasized the need to transform the UNM into a “people’s organization,” which, according to him, should not be a narrow elite group but a union of all citizens. He explained that under conditions where party leaders are imprisoned, the party needs fundamental renewal and activation, for which Nanuka Zhorzholiani has his full mandate and trust.
