Salome Zurabishvili - The regime's policy affects everyone, oppresses everyone and blocks everyone's opportunities
Salome Zurabishvili - The ruling party is creating new political ramifications openly supporting neutrality, which is Russia’s aim
Salome Zurabishvili – I distance myself from any form of violence, attack, or attempt at provocation against state institutions – the actions we have been witnessing all day clearly show how much our peaceful protest troubles the regime
Salome Zurabishvili: Society demands that the Platform of Resistance expands and not remain a monopoly of political parties that have not proven they alone can manage the situation — we are working on this and new groups may be formed
Salome Zurabishvili: We cannot assume that the judiciary no longer exists; there can always appear a judge who does not lose their humanity – and protests will continue as long as there are lawyers helping people selflessly
Salome Zurabishvili - One year has given us the main thing, that we believe in ourselves, that we can do everything, despite hysterical repressions, people are standing here - no one has come up with a plan how to defeat the dictatorship and Russia at the same time, but this defeat will come
We will do everything for EU membership, but we will not beg the Brussels bureaucracy - this is what the Brussels bureaucracy wanted! - We once again endorse every word of Irakli Kobakhidze's November 28 statement! - the Chairman of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, told journalists.
Salome Zurabishvili - We must stand together to strengthen each other - Georgia will not be enslaved by Russia, the regime will not block our path to Europe, we choose Europeanism, i.e. peace, freedom and an independent state
Salome Zurabishvili - The Georgian government no longer exists, we have a puppet government that actually receives instructions from Moscow - there is no possibility of cooperation with them
Salome Zurabishvili - President Zelensky, dear friend, dear Ukrainian friends, I and your Georgian friends stand with you at this vital moment
Salome Zurabishvili on the planned changes to the Election Code: It is unacceptable for the country to depend on our fellow citizens abroad; even because of the remittances they send - while at the same time restricting their rights - This is immoral
Salome Zurabishvili - Even today, not a single judge has appeared who would take it upon himself to make a slightly fairer decision - this is a tragedy for the country
Salome Zurabishvili: The parents of Bachiashvili, Ivanishvili’s personal prisoner, have been sentenced in absentia - pure Pavel Morozov soviet rule: children and family share responsability
Salome Zurabishvili: Whoever is the legitimate president of Georgia tomorrow, I am sure that Mzia will be awarded the Order of Excellence - thank you Mzia for setting an example for us!
Salome Zurabishvili - The example of the Latvian people steels our resolve to resist and prevail
Gia Khukhashvili: According to political logic, in 2026 the government will definitely need to hold snap elections
Salome Zurabishvili: This Russian regime will truly go down in Georgia’s history as the most criminal
Salome Zurabishvili: Rejection of the Bologna Process, rejection of the voting rights of emigrants, isolation, and closing off the country! That was the USSR — nothing else!
Ambassador of Korea Hyon Du KIM - Korea’s strength lies in high-tech manufacturing while Georgia’s strength is in logistics and service areas - Georgia should not be just considered as a single market but as a market that can encompass the region and beyond
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
