Natia Mezvrishvili: We will wait to see what the proposal will be - the president knows very well our position regarding the risks that can be created, the rest is up to her
Tina Bokuchava: we are committed to the "Georgian Charter" - together with democratic, pro-Western parties, we will form a coalition government after the elections
The President will present the so-called technical government before the elections

Prime Minister: Salome Zurabishvili has "two fridays" left in office - impeachment symbolizes traitor's departure
Gigi Ugulava: The candidate for the prime ministership of the so-called technical government should be named before the elections, and the candidate for the prime ministership should be Salome Zurabishvili herself
Sergo Chikhladze: As soon as there is something negative about Russia and Lukashenko in the resolution, Papuashvili, Kobakhidze and Kaladze are the first to run out and support Moscow - "Georgian Dream" is worried about Russia
Giorgi Gakharia at the meeting with the President: there was no discussion about specific names and surnames - there may be a candidate that is acceptable even before the elections, there may be a candidate that is not acceptable before the elections
Consultations between the President and the opposition parties regarding the composition of the technical government and the candidate for prime minister will continue today

President Salome Zurabishvili: Mobilization is key to defeating election fraud
President Salome Zurabishvili: Coordination platform to be organized at Orbeliani Palace on election day

Coalition "For Change" leaders meet with President Salome Zurabishvili on issues related to the composition of the so-called technical government and the candidate for the position of Prime Minister
Ian Kelly: Unless the ruling party reverses course on taking anti-democratic actions like the ‘foreign agents law,’ and ceases its hostile rhetoric against the U.S., I cannot imagine our relations will get any better
Estonian Ambassador to Georgia - If we want EU membership, we should all play by the rules - The Georgian Government on the one hand says that they are moving closer to the EU, but their actions do not prove that
