Nika Gvaramia: Those who voted for Bidzina in 2012, or at any other time, can do nothing better than to help drive Bidzina out of the country by adding their brick to the effort; I will be glad if they do not wait for elections, but instead enthusiastically take part in organizing large-scale rallies

“Anyone who voted for Bidzina in 2012, or at any other time, can do nothing better than to contribute to driving Bidzina out of this country. That is why I would be glad if they did not wait for the elections, but instead enthusiastically took part in organizing large-scale rallies - and did not limit themselves to simply standing at a protest, but brought someone else along as well,” Nika Gvaramia, leader of the “Coalition for Change,” writes on social media.

According to him, constantly talking about the past, whether negatively or positively, distances us from the future and contributes to the perpetuation of the “status quo, which is disastrous for the country, and its name is Bidzina Ivanishvili.”

“I do not understand what is gained by demanding that someone admit that voting for Bidzina in 2012 was a mistake. I am certain that nothing good comes of it. Especially demanding an apology for the mistake.

Someone apologized - and what does that change for me, for us, or for Georgia? If someone wants to apologize, that is their personal matter. In general, whether a person apologizes is their personal matter. So is choosing not to apologize.

Anyone who voted for Bidzina then, or at any other time, can do nothing better than to contribute to driving Bidzina out of this country.

That is why I would be glad if they did not wait for the elections (we already know that ‘I’ll feel like it and vote him out’ did not work out), but instead enthusiastically took part in organizing large-scale rallies. If they do not limit themselves to simply standing at a protest, but bring someone else along as well. In short, they should act today the way they did in 2012.

Their participation in the protest is different from mine: some people believe in them more, for some their example is more impressive, and for others their behavior is more contagious.

Therefore, whether with an apology or without one, whether by acknowledging their mistake or not, whether by ‘becoming friends’ with me or not, it will be a success for the common cause if they hurt Bidzina to exactly the same degree that they helped him in 2012.

In general, whether negatively or positively, constantly talking about the past distances us from the future and contributes to the perpetuation of the status quo.

And if anyone does not remember, let me remind them: the status quo is disastrous for the country, and its name is Bidzina Ivanishvili,” Nika Gvaramia writes on social media.
