Salome Zurabishvili: An authoritarian regime supported from abroad can be defeated only when the country unites; the current situation goes beyond party competition and requires a united response from the entire civil society
Salome Zurabishvili: That the ruling team has run out of cadres can no longer - and will no longer - be hidden
Salome Zurabishvili - What Partskhaladze is doing today is treason, he is a Russian Romanov - questions should have been raised about him earlier, when he was the Prosecutor General, which is unthinkable given his past
Mikheil Saakashvili on Salome Zurabishvili - The excitement of those "oppositionists" who called this shameful woman, the real enemy of Georgia, the unconditional leader and the savior of the Georgian people, is more incomprehensible - hypocrisy has its limits
Mikheil Saakashvili - Giorgi Baramidze formulated something incorrectly, but he certainly does not deserve a kick from the servants of Ivanishvili's dictatorship - I have not even heard a hint of Georgians shooting prisoners of war
Salome Zurabishvili - Saba Jikia turned 20 in prison, Andro Chichinadze turned 30, Giorgi Chikvaidze turned 40 - thanks to everyone who gives us an example of determination and uncompromising struggle from prison
Salome Zurabishvili - The regime is deliberately destroying the state – it is the usual old Russian strategy of how to destabilize the country
Salome Zurabishvili - The EU’s 21st sanctions package exposes a national disgrace: Georgian assets being used to fuel Russia’s war machine
Salome Zurabishvili - If we think about yesterday's events, one thing unites them: the target is humor - that is, what made society survive the hardest days during the Soviet regime and what is part of our character must be eradicated - the Russian dream!
Salome Zurabishvili: Terror in Georgia: Russian-style total censorship in plain sight! Imprisoning journalists for criticizing politicians is not law, but authoritarian paranoia
Salome Zurabishvili: I do not know what kind of scenario they orchestrated around Elisashvili, but I do know one thing - this 13-year sentence has nothing to do with justice
Gia Volski - The OSCE has put an end to the authority of its own observation mission - behind the resolution lies the political interest of a small group, although this group determines the results of the vote
Elene Khoshtaria: All four leaders of the Coalition for Change worked directly with Gilauri. He did not give orders or instructions, nor did he make becoming the coalition's prime ministerial candidate a precondition for his involvement
Mikheil Saakashvili: A large part of the opposition has become similar to the “Kots” (Georgian Dream supporters) because they lack sincerity; they no longer even dare to use the word “dictator” and have the same desire as Ivanishvili - and perhaps even more - for me to shut up, but I will not be silent
