Elene Khoshtaria: The opposition should create an optimal election configuration and continue the fight, Giorgi Vashadze sees himself in the National Movement in this configuration, Droa - doesn't - we will have our election declaration as well
Shalva Papuashvili: Some foreign and Georgian political forces, non-governmental organizations and individuals are trying to present the interests of the government as separate from the interests of the people.
Shalva Papuashvili: The tactic of virtually separating Georgia’s democratic government from Georgian people fits the Russian hybrid playbook
Irakli Kobakhidze: It is fundamentally unacceptable for us when specific diplomats in Georgia incite polarization, they should take care of the polarization that is deepening in their own country
Irakli Kobakhidze: Is it not allowed to work out on May 26?! - invading someone else's private space is the signature of the National Movement, they are Bolsheviks, they are foreign agents

Viola von Cramon: If EU will grant candidate status to Georgia then it’s NOT because the government implemented all the priorities the EU had given to Georgia but because the Georgian people deserve it and the geopolitical logic demands it
According to the IRI survey, the Patriarch (91%), Kakha Kaladze (52%) and Salome Zurabishvili (48%) are among the most favorable figures
IRI: If the elections were held this coming Saturday, 19% of respondents would vote for Georgian Dream, 14% - for National Movement
Elene Khoshtaria: We will have a list of all the people who are trying to violate the dignity of Grigoriadis today - I promise, everyone will be held accountable
Giorgi Vashadze: This rally is fake like members of Georgian Dream, I recognized three people behind the masks - Bidzina Ivanishvili, Irakli Kobakhidze and Irakli Gharibashvili
Elene Khoshtaria: Irakli Gharibashvili received the harshest letter from the European Parliament, which contains a warning that the rights of peaceful protestants should be protected
Elene Khoshtaria: There are reports that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security Service have started summoning peaceful demonstrators for questioning - don't even dare to think about persecution
