Shalva Papuashvili
Shalva Papuashvili: We saw an attack on the Georgian police by MEP Auštrevičius - it would be good if the Embassy of Lithuania makes an explanation on this issue
Nika Melia: On April 29, we will see a gathering, with demotivated and embarrassed administrative resources, of people who will have to hide their faces and bow down to the future of Georgia
Clashes between protesters and police on Chichinadze Street
Mamuka Mdinaradze on Gvaramia-Melia:The unity of the criminal, pardoned by Salome, cannot overcome the barrier with any guarantee
Levan Khabeishvili: We welcome oppositionists to unite so that no vote is lost
Shalva Papuashvili: It is becoming clear why they asked for Gvaramia to be pardoned and why judges were summoned by various embassies in order to put pressure on Gvaramia’s trial
Roman Gotsiridze: I consider myself a part of a big coalition - I see myself in a coalition and not in any party
Mikheil Daushvili: Whether they call it "Akhali” (New) or something else, for me they are the National Movement - we will not have any type of union or coalition with any political party for electoral purposes
Giorgi Kakhiani: Be it Nika Gvaramia, Nika Melia, Khoshtaria, Girchi Japaridze, or others, they are representatives of the National Movement – their aim is to mislead the society
Giuli Alasania: Mikheil Saakashvili's choice is five, he will not deviate either towards four or six
Archil Talakvadze on Melia-Gvaramia's party "Akhali" - this is the old, very bad old - Melia and Gvaramia are brought bricks from the ruins of the "National Movement" and build small structures of 1%
Kakha Kaladze: How can people and a political party, which will fight to get 1 or 2 percent, be perceived as competitors - there is no place for radicalism, odiousness and evil in Georgian politics
Prime Minister Melia-Gvaramia's party: Another, probably 2% party was created, this 2% will be subtracted from "National Movement" - it is good that we get a constitutional majority
Nika Melia: Today we say and confirm that we are creating a unity of people, which, first of all, is united by the future - the future is our common goal, victory is our common goal, not revenge
Nika Melia and Nika Gvaramia to participate in elections as Akhali (New) union
Nika Melia: If there is anything to defeat today, it is nihilism and hopelessness - If there is anything we need today, it is the belief in victory, let us believe that victory is possible
Irakli Kobakhidze: A number of 2% and 3% parties are being created, in such a case more votes will be lost on the opposition wing, which will allow us to obtain the constitutional majority
Roman Gotsiridze: I think that Melia and Gvaramia will not create two parties, probably one party will be created around number 4 - I see myself in a big opposition coalition
George Katcharava - The events of April 2024 determine future trends of global pollical and security architecture
